I'm having trouble with a new two-node CentOS5 cluster (kernel 2.6.23). The clvm
daemon doesn't run correctly on one node, and that node cannot see LVM objects,
while it can connect to the underlying storage.
The cluster has shared SAN storage with 5 LUNs presented to the servers.
Multiple HBAs and storage processes mean there are 4 paths to each LUN.
DM-Multipath is used to create virtual devices for LUN access. Each server sees
the LUNs at the SCSI level, and can see disk partitions via fdisk, and can see
the same LUNs via multipath
The host-level storage configuration was done on node2, with text files being
edited simultaneously on both nodes or copied from node2 to node1.
### Error Condition ###
The clvmd daemon does not run correctly on node1 of the two-node cluster.
The error messages are:
connect() failed on local socket: Permission denied
WARNING: Falling back to local file-based locking.
Volume Groups with the clustered attribute will be inaccessible.
At this point, node1 cannot access any shared objects (ie., pvdisplay fails to
show details about the physical volumes, etc.).
The daemon consistently starts without error on node2, whether node1 is
running or not.
The daemon consistently fails to start on node1, whether node2 is running or
not.
I've rebooted each node...the condition remains the same--only node2 can
successfully start clvmd and access the LVM volumes.
The /var/log/messages entry on both nodes is identical:
clvmd: Cluster LVM daemon started - connected to CMAN
but on node1 the process never gets out of the " clvmd -T20" state.
There are no issues with SELinux blocking any lvm actions.
I'd really appreciate any suggestions about debugging this problem.
Extensive notes and command output are given
below.
Thanks,
Mark
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
#### Configuration Procedures ###
The following steps were run on each node:
dm-multipath installed, confirmed that kernel modules are loaded
setup /etc/multipath.conf (aliasing WWIDs to logical names,
blacklisting WWIDs of internal drive)
stop multipathd
remove any multipath device entries with
multipath -F
Create /etc/lvm/lvm.conf (filtering internal drive, filtering /dev/sda
devices
The following commands were run _only_ on node2:
restart multipath, recreating the devices based on /etc/multipath.conf
copy the /var/lib/multipath/bindings file from node2 to node1
Create Physical Devices for LVM, as in:
pvcreate -M2 -v /dev/mpath/home
Create Volume Groups, as in:
vgcreate -c y home_vg /dev/mpath/home
Create Logical Volumes, as in:
lvcreate -l 100%VG -n archive archive_vg
Once the volumes are created, the Major/Minor block numbers were set
to be persistent in order to help with NFS load balancing and
fail-over across cluster nodes using lvchange, as in:
lvchange --persistent y --major 253 --minor 8 archive_vg/archive
Partition the Logical Volumes
fdisk was used to set the filesystem offset to 128 blocks
(64KB) to avoid boundary crossing on the EMC array
Filesystems
All paritions are formatted as gfs type filesystems as in:
gfs_mkfs -j 4 -O -p lock_dlm -t sbia-infr:archive /dev/archive_vg/archive

### DM Multipath Details ###
Both nodes have identical multipath configurations (/etc/multipath.conf,
/dev/mpath/*, /dev/dm-* are identical). Both nodes show the same devices from
