Emergency geoDNS(gdnsd) upgrade for XtendWeb cluster

  • January 4, 2019 by Anoop Alias

Note: this upgrade is only necessary if you are using XtendWeb Cluster with Geo-LoadBalancing (running gdnsd instead of bind). If you are running XtendWeb Standalone or XtendWeb cluster with named as DNS servers, you can ignore this notification and skip this upgrade

An upstream software bug causing all gdnsd servers to stop working  from Jan 1 2019 

https://github.com/gdnsd/gdnsd/issues/173

This issue is now fixed in the rpm_builds and you can fix the error by doing


#################Run on all servers #############

yum --enablerepo=ndeploy upgrade gdnsd-nDeploy

systemctl daemon-reload

systemctl restart gdnsd

###############################################

Note that the command should be run on the master as well as on the slaves 

Thank you,
