Digimer, thanks! Let me mentioned all. I have SAN DiskA belongs to VG1 presented to node1 and node2. Node1 & Node2 is under the same cluster. I created a snapshot of DiskA in Emc storage as BCV copy and called it DiskA-copy and presented it to Node3(not a cluster member). I importclone the DiskA-copy to a new VG1_clone with lockingtype of 1 but it wont allow me saying skipping clustered volume. I think it is designed this way. So what I did is use the LVM_SYSTEM_DIR to point to lockingtype of 0 and I was able to import it. Is this the way or there are other preferred way to do it.

After that, turn off clvmd and you should be able to use the LVM as a normal stand-alone setup. -- Digimer E-Mail: digimer@alteeve.com Freenode handle: digimer Papers and Projects: http://alteeve.com Node Assassin: http://nodeassassin.org "I feel confined, only free to expand myself within boundaries." _______________________________________________ linux-lvm mailing list linux-lvm@redhat.com https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/linux-lvm read the LVM HOW-TO at http://tldp.org/HOWTO/LVM-HOWTO/
