Hi, There is a race condition in iscsi-target and clvmd that does not allow me to export a volume by iscsi and use it localy in clvmd. I have two servers "black" and "gray". "Gray" has two drives hda (for filesystem) and hdb (that is going to be exported through iscsi to "black"). Then both machines are part of a 2 node cluster to use clvmd. root gray ~ # /etc/init.d/iscsi-target start Starting iSCSI target service: [ OK ] root gray ~ # /etc/init.d/clvmd start Starting clvmd: [ OK ] Activating VGs: No volume groups found [ OK ] root gray ~ # pvcreate /dev/hdb Can't open /dev/hdb exclusively. Mounted filesystem? root gray ~ # /etc/init.d/iscsi-target stop Stopping iSCSI target service: [ OK ] root gray ~ # pvcreate /dev/hdb Physical volume "/dev/hdb" successfully created root gray ~ # I cannot use clvmd and iscsi-target on the same machine? If i create a logical volume is is activated in "black" lvdisplay -C LV VG Attr LSize Origin Snap% Move Log Copy% teste2 teste -wi-a- 1.00G and in "gray" is disabled: root gray ~ # lvdisplay -C LV VG Attr LSize Origin Snap% Move Log Copy% teste2 teste -wi-d- 1.00G Any ideas?
