I followed the LVM HOW-TO to install and configure LVM on a Linux
server. I defined a single volume group, a single logical volume, and about 14
separate physical extents on a SAN. It works fine. My question is, what steps need to be done beyond the initial rpm
install and activation to configure LVM on a second server that will only be
used for backup if the first server goes down. I don’t want to do anything that
would wipe out any data on the logical volume, but I want the volume group and
logical volume to be defined exactly as the original server has them defined. It seems I should NOT do any pvcreates. Can I just do the vgcreate,
followed by the lvcreate, skip doing the mk2fs, and do the mount of the logical
volume? Thanks, George Campbell Bus-Tech, Inc. |
