Clustered LVM

Hi,

        I am working through the process of building my first GFS installation and cluster. So far, things are going well. I have shared SAN disk that is visible to both nodes, I've got the basic cluster up and I am now starting to create my LVM structure.

I spent a lot of time trying to determine why I was seeing errors similar to the following when trying to create LVs in a new VG:

root# lvcreate -L 50M /dev/vgtest
  Rounding up size to full physical extent 52.00 MB
  Error locking on node cpafisxb: Volume group for uuid not found: IC070PzNGG68uEesi33dH902E4GeGEvwcAccZY4AdnJRkPHUL7EYJzL0Xxkg3eqV

  Error locking on node cpafisxa: Volume group for uuid not found: IC070PzNGG68uEesi33dH902E4GeGEvwcAccZY4AdnJRkPHUL7EYJzL0Xxkg3eqV

  Failed to activate new LV.

I noticed that I did not have a /dev/vgtest on the node where I created the VG. I discovered (by googling the error message above) that another person had seen a similar problem and resolved it by restarting the clvmd service. I did the same thing and the problem was resolved - I don't see that error when creating LVs in that VG, and I now have a /dev/vgtest and associated files (only on the node I created it on).

Now, I created a new VG, try to create a new LV within it and see the same error! I see in the clvmd man page that there is a "-R" option, which sounds like maybe what should be done instead of restarting clvmd. Tried it, but no luck - same error and no /dev/ directory created. Restart clvmd, instant fix.

So - what am I doing wrong here? I can't imagine I am supposed to restart clvmd every time I create a new VG, am I?

Additionally, I can see the clustered VGs and LVs on my other node, but there are not any files in /dev for the clustered VGs - is this normal? I have also restarted clvmd there with no effect.

Thanks,

Kevin

Hello,
    I have been experiencing exactly the same issues... and I found the trick with restarting clvmd myself too. It looks like the problem happens when you are using both non-clustered and clustered LVM.
    I don't think you are doing anything wrong.

I'll probably be opening a support ticket with RedHat on this today. I can't restart clvmd every time I need a new LV, as it requires umounting all the active LVs in each clustered VG.
 
Thanks for confirming!

Hello,

 

Try running pvscan && vgscan && vgmknodes.

This should re-create the vg-dir under /dev, as you’re forcing it to create the nodes (i.e /dev/myvg/lvol0, etc) without the need to stop clvmd.

I haven̵7;t tested this, but it should work and only be required the first time you make changes to the lvm.

Thanks - I actually tried that after creating another new VG and it still did not create the device files. The bigger problem is that even after restarting clvmd and getting the VG dev files created, I get the locking errors when creating new LVs and those device do not get created.
 
I'm working a ticket with RedHat but so far no results...

Which version of lvm2-cluster are you using? Are you
subscribed to the
Beta channel for Cluster Storage? 

I am running the "standard" version, but there is
a later one in the
Beta channel:

root# rpm -q lvm2-cluster
lvm2-cluster-2.02.26-1.el5

Hello,
	I am using the latest stable one. I cannot really use beta
channels on production machines. Is it fixed there?

Which version of lvm2-cluster are you using? Are you
subscribed to the
Beta channel for Cluster Storage? 

I am running the "standard" version, but there is
a later one in the
Beta channel:

root# rpm -q lvm2-cluster
lvm2-cluster-2.02.26-1.el5 

Thanks,

Kevin
