Please read the warning at the end of this email ________________________________________________ > Hi, > Are you sure the clustered bit is set on the VG? > http://sources.redhat.com/cluster/wiki/FAQ/CLVM#clvmd_clustered > Bob Peterson > Red Hat File Systems Yes, the volume group was created with vgcreate -cy, and the output of vgs shows the "c" flag: - VG #PV #LV #SN Attr VSize VFree vg00 1 13 0 wz--n- 49.88G 27.16G vgGWPOCSHARED 1 8 0 wz--nc 199.98G 29.98G You can see below an example using vgs and lvs to show the issue: - Initial state: - [root@ybsxlx89 ~]# vgs ; lvs VG #PV #LV #SN Attr VSize VFree vg00 1 13 0 wz--n- 49.88G 27.16G vgGWPOCSHARED 1 10 0 wz--nc 199.98G 27.98G LV VG Attr LSize Origin Snap% Move Log Copy% Convert esmlv vg00 -wi-ao 480.00M lvol1 vg00 -wi-ao 1.00G lvol2 vg00 -wi-ao 4.00G lvol3 vg00 -wi-ao 3.91G lvol4 vg00 -wi-ao 1.00G lvol5 vg00 -wi-ao 1.00G lvol6 vg00 -wi-ao 256.00M netbackuplv vg00 -wi-ao 512.00M oraclelv vg00 -wi-ao 5.00G tivolilv vg00 -wi-ao 64.00M u001lv vg00 -wi-ao 5.00G u003lv vg00 -wi-ao 512.00M ybslv vg00 -wi-ao 32.00M aserver vgGWPOCSHARED -wi-a- 10.00G fmw1 vgGWPOCSHARED -wi-a- 50.00G fmw2 vgGWPOCSHARED -wi-a- 50.00G gwpoc_cluster vgGWPOCSHARED -wi-a- 20.00G gwpoc_instance1 vgGWPOCSHARED -wi-a- 10.00G gwpoc_instance2 vgGWPOCSHARED -wi-a- 10.00G mserver1 vgGWPOCSHARED -wi-a- 10.00G mserver2 vgGWPOCSHARED -wi-a- 10.00G test vgGWPOCSHARED -wi-a- 1.00G test2 vgGWPOCSHARED -wi-a- 1.00G I next run "lvcreate -n test3 -L 1G vgGWPOCSHARED" on the other node, and then run the vgs and lvs command on this node again: - [root@ybsxlx89 ~]# vgs ; lvs VG #PV #LV #SN Attr VSize VFree vg00 1 13 0 wz--n- 49.88G 27.16G vgGWPOCSHARED 1 10 0 wz--nc 199.98G 27.98G LV VG Attr LSize Origin Snap% Move Log Copy% Convert esmlv vg00 -wi-ao 480.00M lvol1 vg00 -wi-ao 1.00G lvol2 vg00 -wi-ao 4.00G lvol3 vg00 -wi-ao 3.91G lvol4 vg00 -wi-ao 1.00G lvol5 vg00 -wi-ao 1.00G lvol6 vg00 -wi-ao 256.00M netbackuplv vg00 -wi-ao 512.00M oraclelv vg00 -wi-ao 5.00G tivolilv vg00 -wi-ao 64.00M u001lv vg00 -wi-ao 5.00G u003lv vg00 -wi-ao 512.00M ybslv vg00 -wi-ao 32.00M aserver vgGWPOCSHARED -wi-a- 10.00G fmw1 vgGWPOCSHARED -wi-a- 50.00G fmw2 vgGWPOCSHARED -wi-a- 50.00G gwpoc_cluster vgGWPOCSHARED -wi-a- 20.00G gwpoc_instance1 vgGWPOCSHARED -wi-a- 10.00G gwpoc_instance2 vgGWPOCSHARED -wi-a- 10.00G mserver1 vgGWPOCSHARED -wi-a- 10.00G mserver2 vgGWPOCSHARED -wi-a- 10.00G test vgGWPOCSHARED -wi-a- 1.00G test2 vgGWPOCSHARED -wi-a- 1.00G test3 has not appeared, despite being visible in the other node on which it was created. So I stop and start clvmd (no gfs2 filesystems mounted): - [root@ybsxlx89 ~]# service clvmd stop Deactivating clustered VG(s): 0 logical volume(s) in volume group "vgGWPOCSHARED" now active [ OK ] Signaling clvmd to exit [ OK ] clvmd terminated [ OK ] [root@ybsxlx89 ~]# service clvmd start Starting clvmd: Activating VG(s): 11 logical volume(s) in volume group "vgGWPOCSHARED" now active 13 logical volume(s) in volume group "vg00" now active [ OK ] Now the test3 LV appears: - [root@ybsxlx89 ~]# vgs ; lvs VG #PV #LV #SN Attr VSize VFree vg00 1 13 0 wz--n- 49.88G 27.16G vgGWPOCSHARED 1 11 0 wz--nc 199.98G 26.98G LV VG Attr LSize Origin Snap% Move Log Copy% Convert esmlv vg00 -wi-ao 480.00M lvol1 vg00 -wi-ao 1.00G lvol2 vg00 -wi-ao 4.00G lvol3 vg00 -wi-ao 3.91G lvol4 vg00 -wi-ao 1.00G lvol5 vg00 -wi-ao 1.00G lvol6 vg00 -wi-ao 256.00M netbackuplv vg00 -wi-ao 512.00M oraclelv vg00 -wi-ao 5.00G tivolilv vg00 -wi-ao 64.00M u001lv vg00 -wi-ao 5.00G u003lv vg00 -wi-ao 512.00M ybslv vg00 -wi-ao 32.00M aserver vgGWPOCSHARED -wi-a- 10.00G fmw1 vgGWPOCSHARED -wi-a- 50.00G fmw2 vgGWPOCSHARED -wi-a- 50.00G gwpoc_cluster vgGWPOCSHARED -wi-a- 20.00G gwpoc_instance1 vgGWPOCSHARED -wi-a- 10.00G gwpoc_instance2 vgGWPOCSHARED -wi-a- 10.00G mserver1 vgGWPOCSHARED -wi-a- 10.00G mserver2 vgGWPOCSHARED -wi-a- 10.00G test vgGWPOCSHARED -wi-a- 1.00G test2 vgGWPOCSHARED -wi-a- 1.00G test3 vgGWPOCSHARED -wi-a- 1.00G It is interesting that if I do an lvcreate on one node, then ls -l /dev/mapper/vgGWPOCSHARED* on the other node, the device mapper entry has been created, and I can therefore use it in filesystems etc. It seems restricted to the lvm specific commands.
