Re: Shared VG, Separate LVs

Hi,

With CLVM / HA-LVM on a 2 node cluster -

Is it possible to have a shared VG but separate LVs, with each LV exclusively activated on different nodes in a 2 node cluster. In case of a failure, the LV of the failed node will be activated on the other node.

I think clvm can do what you want if you perform LVM commands by hand. But, with HA cluster manager (pacemaker) you cannot do it with the current resource agents (clvm + LVM) [1] [2], because they do failover at a VG basis.

We are currently working on new resource agents [3] for lvmlockd [4]. The new agents can do activation on LV basis, but I won't recommend doing that if there's no strong reason. It makes things much more complicated.
