Hi all i configured a LVM volume group using two iSCSI devices as physical volumes. I designed one node (A) to create snapshots of a Logical Volume, called 'lv_origin' and i want other nodes (B, C) access them exclusively. I assume that 'lv_origin' is never modified after the first snapshot is created. So, A first creates 'lv_origin' and then a snapshot called 'lv_snap1', which is available for this node. The node B executes the command 'vgscan' and 'vgchange -ay'. In this way, 'lv_origin' and 'lv_snap1' become available for B. Next step, A creates a new snapshot of 'lv_origin' called 'lv_snap2'. This is not available for B and the only way that i found to use it is to perform (on the node B) the following commands: 1) vgscan 2) vgchange -an 3) vgchange -ay However this procedure is not applicable if one of created LVs is in use. How to solve this issue?
