I'm trying to setup a LVM mirror on 2 iSCS targets, but can't.
I have added both /dev/sda & /dev/sdb to the LVM-RAID PV, and both
have 500GB space.
[root@HP-DL360 by-path]# pvscan
PV /dev/cciss/c0d0p2 VG LVM lvm2 [136.59 GB / 2.69 GB free]
PV /dev/sda VG LVM-RAID lvm2 [500.00 GB / 490.00 GB free]
PV /dev/sdb VG LVM-RAID lvm2 [502.70 GB / 492.70 GB free]
Total: 3 [1.11 TB] / in use: 3 [1.11 TB] / in no VG: 0 [0 ]
[root@HP-DL360 by-path]# vgscan
Reading all physical volumes. This may take a while...
Found volume group "LVM" using metadata type lvm2
Found volume group "LVM-RAID" using metadata type lvm2
I can add a single LVM volume:
[root@HP-DL360 by-path]# lvscan
ACTIVE '/dev/LVM/root' [10.00 GB] inherit
ACTIVE '/dev/LVM/swap' [3.91 GB] inherit
ACTIVE '/dev/LVM/data' [120.00 GB] inherit
ACTIVE '/dev/LVM-RAID/lvol0' [10.00 GB] inherit
ACTIVE '/dev/LVM-RAID/lvol1' [10.00 GB] inherit
[root@HP-DL360 by-path]# lvcreate -L 10G LVM-RAID
Logical volume "lvol2" created
Yet, when I try and add a mirror, I get this:
[root@HP-DL360 by-path]# lvcreate -L 10G -m1 LVM-RAID
Insufficient suitable allocatable extents for logical volume : 2560
more required
Unable to allocate extents for mirror(s).
I can create a stripe though:
[root@HP-DL360 by-path]# lvcreate -L 20G -i2 -I64 LVM-RAID
Logical volume "lvol3" created
[root@HP-DL360 by-path]# lvscan
ACTIVE '/dev/LVM/root' [10.00 GB] inherit
ACTIVE '/dev/LVM/swap' [3.91 GB] inherit
ACTIVE '/dev/LVM/data' [120.00 GB] inherit
ACTIVE '/dev/LVM-RAID/lvol0' [10.00 GB] inherit
ACTIVE '/dev/LVM-RAID/lvol1' [10.00 GB] inherit
ACTIVE '/dev/LVM-RAID/lvol2' [10.00 GB] inherit
ACTIVE '/dev/LVM-RAID/lvol3' [20.00 GB] inherit
I could even create a large stripe:
[root@HP-DL360 by-path]# lvcreate -L 600G -i2 -I64 LVM-RAID
Logical volume "lvol4" created
[root@HP-DL360 by-path]# lvscan
ACTIVE '/dev/LVM/root' [10.00 GB] inherit
ACTIVE '/dev/LVM/swap' [3.91 GB] inherit
ACTIVE '/dev/LVM/data' [120.00 GB] inherit
ACTIVE '/dev/LVM-RAID/lvol0' [10.00 GB] inherit
ACTIVE '/dev/LVM-RAID/lvol1' [10.00 GB] inherit
ACTIVE '/dev/LVM-RAID/lvol2' [10.00 GB] inherit
ACTIVE '/dev/LVM-RAID/lvol3' [20.00 GB] inherit
ACTIVE '/dev/LVM-RAID/lvol4' [600.00 GB] inherit
[root@HP-DL360 by-path]# pvscan
PV /dev/cciss/c0d0p2 VG LVM lvm2 [136.59 GB / 2.69 GB free]
PV /dev/sda VG LVM-RAID lvm2 [500.00 GB / 180.00 GB free]
PV /dev/sdb VG LVM-RAID lvm2 [502.70 GB / 172.70 GB free]
Total: 3 [1.11 TB] / in use: 3 [1.11 TB] / in no VG: 0 [0 ]
But, the mirror keeps failing:
[root@HP-DL360 by-path]# lvcreate -L 10G -m1 LVM-RAID
Insufficient suitable allocatable extents for logical volume : 2560
more required
Unable to allocate extents for mirror(s).
This is on CentOS 5.5 x64
[root@HP-DL360 by-path]# cat /etc/redhat-release
CentOS release 5.5 (Final)
[root@HP-DL360 by-path]# uname -a
Linux HP-DL360 2.6.18-194.32.1.el5xen #1 SMP Wed Jan 5 18:44:24 EST
2011 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux
Does anyone know why this happens?
