Thanks, the “missing snapshotting” would
be a problem. I am still slightly unclear as to the goals of the clustering in
LVM… Regards From:
linux-lvm-bounces@redhat.com [mailto:linux-lvm-bounces@redhat.com] On Behalf Of Jonathan Brassow The reason the results are likely so sparse is because the two modes of
operation (single machine and cluster) are so similar. Once you've setup a cluster and installed the lvm2-cluster rpm*, new
volume groups that are created automatically receive the "clustered"
attribute. [Toggle the cluster attribute by doing vgchange -c[ny]
<vg>] The lvm commands stay the same as if you were running them on
a single machine.** brassow * Of course you could compile the sources or use another install
method. ** Some targets (like snapshots) are not available when using LVM in a
clustered mode. On Feb 7, 2008, at 8:38 AM, Gerrard Geldenhuis wrote:
Hi I am after a bit more
documentation about the usage of the --clustered option in
vgcreate. At the moment I don’t
have a spare san drive with which I can experiment. My understanding is that
you would set this flag when different hosts(nodes) connect to the same storage
area typically a san with lvm configured. I am after a bit more
information describing this “clusterering” functionality in lvm and how/where
it is used. The man pages on lvm and commands is a bit sparse and I am trawling
through google results but not with great success at the moment. Regards _______________________________________________ |
