Hi! CLVM not activating logical volumes.
I have a major issues with CLVM. It is not activating volumes in my
VG's. I have 2 iSCSI volumes, and one SAS volume with 3 VG's. On
node01, all logical volumes in 1 iSCSI and on SAS are activated. Other
iSCSI - zero. On node02 same situation. On node03 only lv's from SAS
are activated. lvm.conf is same on the machines....
This is very strange, because when I boot the machines, all the
services are stopped, so logical volumes shouldn't be activated.
Here is the situation:
[root@node01 lvm]# vgs
VG #PV #LV #SN Attr VSize VFree
VolGroupC0 1 7 0 wz--nc 3.41T 1.48T
VolGroupC1 1 0 0 wz--nc 3.41T 3.41T
VolGroupSAS 1 2 0 wz--nc 20.63G 4.63G
[root@node01 lvm]# lvs

sasnered1 VolGroupSAS -wi-a- 8.00G
[root@node03 cache]# vgs

VolGroupC0 1 0 0 wz--nc 3.41T 3.41T
VolGroupC1 1 0 0 wz--nc 3.41T 3.41T
VolGroupSAS 1 2 0 wz--nc 20.63G 4.63G
[root@node03 lvm]# lvs
LV VG Attr LSize Origin
sasnered0 VolGroupSAS -wi-a- 8.00G
sasnered1 VolGroupSAS -wi-a- 8.00G
here is my lvm.conf:
[root@node01 lvm]# lvm dumpconfig
devices {
dir="/dev"
scan="/dev"
preferred_names=[]
filter=["a|^/dev/mapper/controller0$|",
"a|^/dev/mapper/controller1$|", "a|^/dev/mapper/sas-xen$|", "r|.*|"]
cache_dir="/etc/lvm/cache"
cache_file_prefix=""
write_cache_state=0
sysfs_scan=1
md_component_detection=1
md_chunk_alignment=1
ignore_suspended_devices=0
}
dmeventd {
mirror_library="libdevmapper-event-lvm2mirror.so"
snapshot_library="libdevmapper-event-lvm2snapshot.so"
}
activation {
missing_stripe_filler="error"
reserved_stack=256
reserved_memory=8192
process_priority=-18
mirror_region_size=512
readahead="auto"
mirror_log_fault_policy="allocate"
mirror_device_fault_policy="remove"
}
global {
library_dir="/usr/lib64"
umask=63
test=0
units="h"
activation=1
proc="/proc"
locking_type=3
fallback_to_clustered_locking=1
fallback_to_local_locking=1
locking_dir="/var/lock/lvm"
}
shell {
history_size=100
}
backup {
backup=1
backup_dir="/etc/lvm/backup"
archive=1
archive_dir="/etc/lvm/archive"
retain_min=10
retain_days=30
}
log {

syslog=1

indent=1
command_names=0
prefix=" "
}
Note that logical volumes form C1 were present on node01 and node02,
but after the node03 joined cluster they dissapeared. I'm running
CentOS 5.3.
This is really dissapointing. Enterprise Linux? Linux maybe but not
Enterprise... After much trouble with linux dm-multipath issues with my
storage - which are unresolved and are waiting for RHEL 5.4, now clvmd.
Note that locking (DLM), cman, rgmanager, qdisk and all the other
cluster services are working without problems. I just don't get it why
is CLVM behaving this way?
I'm thinking about switching to non-clustered LVM - but are there
issues with possible corruption of metadata? I won't create any new
volumes nor snapshots or anything similar. Setup is done and it should
work like this for the extended period of time.... But are there issues
with activation or something else changing metadata?
