Hi,

thanks for your answer. Can i use one VG for all LV's ? That would be easier than providing for every LV a seperate VG.
Is it better to implement cLVM as a ressource, managed by pacemaker, or should i start cLVM using the normal way (Skript in /etc/init.d) ?

Hi,

Yes you can have only 1 VG holding all your LVs.
Let clvmd start normally at boot time, it will take care of the shared VG.
In your cluster config, you'll only manage LV and FS as resources.
