CentOS - Jan 2017 - yum update pulls in lvm-cluster on 7.3

Hi,

I ran "yum update" this morning on a 7.2 machine with all of the cr
updates
applied to it and yum wants to install lvm-cluster and a bunch of deps.

I understand why the centos-release wants to be updated but can someone tell
me why it wants to pull in lvm-cluster and friends? This machine is not part
of a cluster.

Hello,
which command did you execute, exactly?
I have only experience with RHEL and not CentOS for what regards
lvm2-cluster; in my opinion it is correct that it is included in "Resilient
Storage" group.
So that if you already had this group installed but not lvm2-cluster rpm
package, it was a problem before, not now....

Eg, in a CentOS 7.2 vm of mine I have:

[root at manageiq ~]# rpm -q lvm2-cluster
package lvm2-cluster is not installed
[root at manageiq ~]#

[root at manageiq ~]# rpm -q lvm2
lvm2-2.02.130-5.el7.x86_64
[root at manageiq ~]#

[root at manageiq ~]# yum update
. . .
centos-release                    x86_64     7-3.1611.el7.centos
      base         23 k
. . .
lvm2                              x86_64     7:2.02.166-1.el7_3.1
     updates     1.1 M
. . .
but no lvm2-cluster package proposed

but correctly if I run

[root at manageiq ~]# yum groupinstall "Resilient Storage"
...

So it seems ok to me. It pulls the update of lvm2 package itself and also
the lvm2-cluster package (correctly pulled from the "updates" repo)

Hi,

Sorry for the delayed response.

Hummm, According to the changelog your version of lvm2 is over a year old.

(shadow pts2) # rpm -q lvm2
lvm2-2.02.166-1.el7_3.1.x86_64
(shadow pts2) #

This is the latest from the Centos repo. I do not however think this is a
problem, it is just an observation.

If I run yum groupinstall "Resilient Storage" I get the essentially
same results
as you do.

So I guess what I am trying to figure out is what is pulling in the Resilient
Storage group.

Suggestions?

I don't see how the above output could be much more clear. It wants to
upgrade the installed group of packages named "Resilient Storage" and
the included packages have new dependencies.

Options:
 * realise you don't want the group and remove it
 * live with its new dependencies even though you wont use all of them
   (this is of course the situation more many other packages on your
   machine already)
 * hold off on the update

Obviously, but I never installed a group called "Resilient Storage"
nor
do I need that group and yum grouplist does not show that such a group
even exists.

What I was missing is that yum grouplist has a "hidden" option and
that is what
you need to actually see what groups are installed on the machine.

Once I found that I discovered that in 7.2 the Resilient Storage group only
had gfs2-utils as a Mandatory package. In 7.3 lvm2-cluster was added as
an additional package to that group. Yum logs show that gfs2-utils has
been installed since the beginning of the machine's life (most likely by
anaconda) and now that lvm2-cluster was added as a mandatory package,
that is what caused the unnecessary deps to be required.

That was the mystery I was trying to understand and solve.

The bottom line is that I removed gfs2-utils and all is well.

Sorry for the confusion.
