Hello, I already read these technotes so that it seems my configuration is coherent with them: https://access.redhat.com/site/documentation/en-US/Red_Hat_Enterprise_Linux/6/html/Cluster_Administration/ap-ha-halvm-CA.html https://access.redhat.com/site/solutions/409813 basically I would like to use clvmd with ha-lvm (as recommended) and set up the cluster service with resources like this: <resources> <lvm lv_name="lv_prova" name="lv_prova" vg_name="VG_PROVA"/> <fs device="/dev/VG_PROVA/lv_prova" force_fsck="0" force_unmount="1" fsid="50013" fstype="ext3 " mountpoint="/PROVA" name="PROVA" options="" self_fence="1"/> </resources> <service autostart="1" domain="MYDOM" name="MYSERVICE"> <lvm ref="lv_prova"/> <fs ref="PROVA"/> </service> The problem is that if I starts both nodes, when clvmd starts it activates all the VGs, because of action "Activating VG(s):" ${lvm_vgchange} -ayl $LVM_VGS || return $? in init script for clvmd and $LVM_VGS empty So when the service starts, it fails in lv activation (because already active) and then the service goes in failed state. My system is registered with rhsm and bound to 6.3 release. Current packages lvm2-cluster-2.02.95-10.el6_3.3.x86_64 cman-3.0.12.1-32.el6_3.2.x86_64 lvm2-2.02.95-10.el6_3.3.x86_64 I can solve my problem if I set the clvmd init scripts as in rhel 5.9 where there is a conditional statement. Diff between original 6.3 clvmd init script and mine is now: $ diff clvmd clvmd.orig 32,34d31 < # Activate & deactivate clustered LVs < CLVMD_ACTIVATE_VOLUMES=1 < 91,92c88 < if [ -n "$CLVMD_ACTIVATE_VOLUMES" ] ; then < ${lvm_vgscan} > /dev/null 2>&1 --- > ${lvm_vgscan} > /dev/null 2>&1 94,95c90 < action "Activating VG(s):" ${lvm_vgchange} -ayl $LVM_VGS || return $? < fi --- > action "Activating VG(s):" ${lvm_vgchange} -ayl $LVM_VGS || return $? Then I set this in /etc/sysconfig/clvmd CLVMD_ACTIVATE_VOLUMES="" Now all seems ok in start, stop and relocate. Between technotes of 6.4 I only see this BZ #729812 Prior to this update, occasional service failures occurred when starting the clvmd variant of the HA-LVM service on multiple nodes in a cluster at the same time. The start of an HA-LVM resource coincided with another node initializing that same HA-LVM resource. With this update, a patch has been introduced to synchronize the initialization of both resources. As a result, services no longer fail due to the simultaneous initialization. but I'm not sure if it is related with my problem as it is private. Can anyone give his/her opinion? I'm going to open a case with redhat, but I would like to understand if it's me missing something trivial.... as I think I would not be the only one with this kind of configuration....
