Hi Bryn, >From example: On each cluster node, edit /etc/lvm/lvm.conf and change the volume_list field to match the boot volume (myvg) and name of the node cluster interconnect (ha-web1). This restricts the list of volumes available during system boot to only the root volume and prevents cluster nodes from updating and potentially corrupting the metadata on the HA-LVM volume: volume_list = [ "myvg", "@ha-web1" ] so I added volume_list = [ " vg_pdcpicpl01 " , "@PDC-PIC-PL-01" ] PDC-PIC-PL-01 : is my hostname # dracut --hostonly --force /boot/initramfs-$(uname -r).img $(uname -r) # shutdown -r now "Activating ramdisk LVM changes" Reboot I have /dev/HA-Web-VG/ha-web-lv also, but after reboot I cannot initialize my volume it throws nor create logical volume lvcreate gets error message "not activating volume group lv does not pass activation filter" -----Original Message----- From: Bryn M.

Either a tag "@tagname", a volume group as "vgname", or a logical volume name as "vgname/lvname" (otherwise the tools cannot know which LV you mean if there are multiple LVs with the same name in different VGs). In your earlier example you seemed to have an LV name: >> Volume_list = [ "myrootvolume", "@hostname" ] Which won't work since the LV name is unqualified by a VG. Your later example: > volume_list = [ "vg_pdcpicpl01", "@PDC-PIC-PL-01" ] Looks correct assuming that vg_pdcpicpl01 is the name of a VG on your system. > In example I saw that I have to specify only VG of root . It's up to you whether you want to specify just an LV or a whole VG. > Can you help me where I am wrong ? It's hard to say. What error do you get initialising LVM? Try adding more -v if there's nothing useful printed (normally syntax errors in lvm.conf give a useful message). Failing that you could post your full lvm.conf to a pastebin somewhere and mail the link so that others can review your config.
