[CentOS] GLIBC_2.7 not found

[Hersh Parikh]

Hi Guys,

Thanks for your valuable suggestion. I will keep them in mind. I have checked whether there is a way to update to Centos to 5.10 without damaging the cluster suite and I was suggested the best way is to reinstall the entire cluster suite. There are few suggestions around this but they are not tested. So I would not like to take a risk with untested solution. So now I will start looking for feasibility of upgrading the entire suite. This may take sometime but I guess at some stage it needs to be done.

Hi Johnny,

First let me thank you and the CentOS team for the great work that you do!

Secondly I don't disagree about the need to keep our systems current, but Hersh indicated that
this was a clustered production system and I was merely pointing out that there could be breakage by
doing an upgrade.
