6) attach disk2 to VM2(tb0307-nd2), the vg on VM2 looks abnormal.
tb0307-nd2:~ # pvs
  WARNING: Device for PV JJOL4H-kc0j-jyTD-LDwl-71FZ-dHKM-YoFtNV not
found or rejected by a filter.
  PV         VG  Fmt  Attr PSize  PFree
  /dev/vdc   vg2 lvm2 a--  20.00g 20.00g
  /dev/vdd   vg1 lvm2 a--  20.00g 20.00g
  [unknown]  vg1 lvm2 a-m  20.00g 20.00g

This is normal because /dev/vdd contains metadata for vg1 which includes now missing disk /dev/vdc .... as the PV is no longer the same.




tb0307-nd2:~ # vgs
  WARNING: Device for PV JJOL4H-kc0j-jyTD-LDwl-71FZ-dHKM-YoFtNV not
found or rejected by a filter.
  VG  #PV #LV #SN Attr   VSize  VFree
  vg1   2   0   0 wz-pn- 39.99g 39.99g
  vg2   1   0   0 wz--n- 20.00g 20.00g

This is normal because you haven't removed /dev/vdc from vg1 on /dev/vdd, since it was detached while you operated on its vg.


7) reboot VM2, the result looks worse (vdc disk belongs to two vg).
tb0307-nd2:/mnt/shared # pvs
  PV         VG  Fmt  Attr PSize  PFree
  /dev/vdc   vg1 lvm2 a--  20.00g     0
  /dev/vdc   vg2 lvm2 a--  20.00g 10.00g
  /dev/vdd   vg1 lvm2 a--  20.00g  9.99g

When you removed vdd when it was not attached, the VG1 metadata on vdd was not altered. The metadata resides on both disks, so you had inconsistent metadata between both disks because you operated on the shared volume group while one device was missing.

You also did not recreate PV on /dev/vdc so it has the same UUID as when it was part of VG1, this is why VG1 when VDD is booted will still try to include /dev/vdc because it was never removed from the volume group on VDD.

So the state of affairs is:

/dev/vdc contains volume group info for VG2 and includes only /dev/vdc

/dev/vdd contains volume group info for VG1, and includes both /dev/vdc and /dev/vdd by UUID for its PV, however, it is a bug that it should include /dev/vdc even though the VG UUID is now different (and the name as well).

Regardless, from vdd's perspective /dev/vdc is still part of VG1.
