Hi There, i am trying to build up a setup with several servers accessing one SAN. I use a RedHat Enterprise Linux 4 with RHEL4U1 packages (lvm2-2.01.08-1.0.RHEL4.i386.rpm) and the lvm2-cluster srpm from fedora 4 as soon as i put up the locking_type = 2 and set the locking_library then i can't run any lvm commands (vgdisplay/vgchange) ... returning with connect() failed on local socket: Connection refused Locking type 2 initialisation failed. only when the clvmd is running.. but i can not boot up my machine anymore because clvmd is not running when mounting my local lvm filesystems. any help is higly apreciated!!! #lvmcmdline.c:836 Processing: vgchange -vvvvv -ay VolGroup00 #lvmcmdline.c:839 O_DIRECT will be used #config/config.c:773 Setting global/locking_type to 2 #config/config.c:758 Setting global/locking_library to /usr/lib/liblvm2clusterlock.so #misc/sharedlib.c:41 Opening shared locking library /usr/lib/liblvm2clusterlock.so #locking/external_locking.c:92 Loaded external locking library /usr/lib/liblvm2clusterlock.so #cluster_locking.c:83 connect() failed on local socket: Connection refused #lvmcmdline.c:853 Locking type 2 initialisation failed.
