Could well be. As I mentioned, no fencing == things break.

See my thread earlier as I am having similar issues. I am testing this
soon, but I "think" the issue in my case is setting up SCSI fencing before
GFS2. So essentially it has nothing to fence off of, sees it as a fault,
and never recovers. I "think" my fix will be establish the LVMs, GFS2 etc
then put in the SCSI fence so that it can actually create the private
reservations. Then the fun begins in pulling the plug randomly to see how
it behaves.

Not sure if it relates, but I can say that without fencing, things will
break in strange ways. The reason is that if anything triggers a fault,
the cluster blocks by design and stays blocked until a fence call
succeeds (which is impossible without fencing configured in the first
place).
Can you please setup fencing, test to make sure it works (using
'fence_node rhel2.local' from rhel1.local, then in reverse)? Once this
is done, test again for your problem. If it still exists, please paste
the updated cluster.conf then. Also please include syslog from both
nodes around the time of your LVM tests.

After I manually started the lvm on node1 and tried to switch it on
node2 it's not able to start it.

Dear all,
I hope that anyone run into this problem in the past, so maybe can
help
me resolving this issue.
There is a 2 node rhel cluster with quorum also.
There are clustered lvms, where the -c- flag is on.
If I start clvmd all the clustered lvms became online.
After this if I start rgmanager, it deactivates all the volumes, and
not
able to activate them anymore as there are no such devices anymore
during the startup of the service, so after this, the service fails.
All lvs remain without the active flag.
I can manually bring it up, but only if after clvmd is started, I set
the lvms manually offline by the lvchange -an <lv>
After this, when I start rgmanager, it can take it online without
problems. However I think, this action should be done by the rgmanager
itself. All the logs is full with the next:
rgmanager Making resilient: lvchange -an ....
rgmanager lv_exec_resilient failed
rgmanager lv_activate_resilient stop failed on ....
As well, sometimes the lvs/clvmd commands are also hanging. I have to
restart clvmd to make it work again. (sometimes killing it)
Anyone has any idea, what to check?
Thanks and regards,
Krisztian
