Hello, I'm trying to setup a 3 nodes CLVM cluster : alpha, beta and omega. My setup is pretty simple right now, with the following cluster.conf. I think cluster state is OK as : -------------------------------------------- # cman_tool nodes Node Sts Inc Joined Name 1 M 100 2008-07-25 17:40:12 alpha 2 M 100 2008-07-25 17:40:12 beta 100 M 48 2008-07-25 17:40:12 omega --------------------------------------------- # group_tool type level name id state fence 0 default 00010002 none [1 2 100] dlm 1 clvmd 00020002 none [1 2 100] ---------------------------------------------- lvm just works as expected on alpha and beta. But on omega, when I try to use lvm, I've got these errors : ----------------------------------------------- # lvcreate -L10M -nsrv04 xenvg Rounding up size to full physical extent 12.00 MB Error locking on node omega: device-mapper: reload ioctl failed: Invalid argument Failed to activate new LV. ----------------------------------------------- The 3 servers have the same installation (ubuntu 8.0.4.1, cman, clm), same configuration BUT on omega I use LVM on another VG which is not clustered. ----------------------------------------------- # vgdisplay --- Volume group --- VG Name data System ID Format lvm2 Metadata Areas 1 Metadata Sequence No 3 VG Access read/write VG Status resizable MAX LV 0 Cur LV 1 Open LV 1 Max PV 0 Cur PV 1 Act PV 1 VG Size 15.00 GB PE Size 4.00 MB Total PE 3839 Alloc PE / Size 256 / 1.00 GB Free PE / Size 3583 / 14.00 GB VG UUID ATgVwZ-U5Gh-SxMW-91DO-vt9u-TkJa-XXQNQa --- Volume group --- VG Name xenvg System ID Format lvm2 Metadata Areas 1 Metadata Sequence No 6 VG Access read/write VG Status resizable Clustered yes Shared no MAX LV 0 Cur LV 4 Open LV 0 Max PV 0 Cur PV 1 Act PV 1 VG Size 1020.00 MB PE Size 4.00 MB Total PE 255 Alloc PE / Size 15 / 60.00 MB Free PE / Size 240 / 960.00 MB VG UUID NKq9S2-4biX-7nRW-35Ww-OTHh-xTwH-q4VMQi ----------------------------------------------- I use this LVM configuration on the 3 nodes : locking_library = "liblvm2clusterlock.so" locking_type = 2 library_dir = "/lib/lvm2" Is there's a know problem using this mix configuration on the same server?
