RHEL4, LVM and Locking type 3 (cluster)

[<brett.dellegrazie@uk.logicalis.com>]

Hi,

 

Sorry if this is on the FAQ but I can't seem to find it.

Has anyone had any experience with using LVM and Locking Type 3 (internal cluster locking).

 

I have attempted to use this primarily to put LVM on a SAN.

However, when I try to create the physical volume initially I get:

 

[root@somehost ~]# pvcreate --verbose /dev/sdb
  connect() failed on local socket: Connection refused
  Locking type 3 initialisation failed.

Effectively stopping this technique.  Is RHEL4's version of LVM not compiled --with-cluster=internal option?

 

Any help / hints are greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

 

Best Regards,

Brett
