5.5. Creating a Mirrored LVM Logical Volume in a Cluster
Creating a mirrored LVM logical volume in a cluster requires the same commands and procedures as creating a mirrored LVM logical volume on a single node. However, in order to create a mirrored LVM volume in a cluster the cluster and cluster mirror infrastructure must be running, the cluster must be quorate, and the locking type in the
lvm.conf
file must be set correctly to enable cluster locking, either directly or by means of the lvmconf
command as described in Section 3.1, “Creating LVM Volumes in a Cluster”.
The following procedure creates a mirrored LVM volume in a cluster. First the procedure checks to see whether the cluster services are installed and running, then the procedure creates the mirrored volume.
- In order to create a mirrored logical volume that is shared by all of the nodes in a cluster, the locking type must be set correctly in the
lvm.conf
file in every node of the cluster. By default, the locking type is set to local. To change this, execute the following command in each node of the cluster to enable clustered locking:/usr/sbin/lvmconf --enable-cluster
# /usr/sbin/lvmconf --enable-cluster

clvmd
daemon is running on the node from which it was issued:ps auxw | grep clvmd
[root@doc-07 ~]# ps auxw | grep clvmd root 17642 0.0 0.1 32164 1072 ? Ssl Apr06 0:00 clvmd -T20 -t 90

cmirror
andcmirror-kernel
packages are installed. Thecmirror-kernel
package that must be installed depends on the kernel that is running. For example, if the running kernel iskernel-largesmp
, it is necessary to havecmirror-kernel-largesmp
for the corresponding kernel version. - Start the
cmirror
service.service cmirror start
[root@doc-07 ~]# service cmirror start Loading clustered mirror log: [ OK ]

Two of the physical volumes will be used for the legs of the mirror, and the third physical volume will contain the mirror log.

mirrorvg
that consists of the three physical volumes that were created in the previous step.vgcreate mirrorvg /dev/xvdb1 /dev/xvdb2 /dev/xvdc1
[root@doc-07 ~]# vgcreate mirrorvg /dev/xvdb1 /dev/xvdb2 /dev/xvdc1 Clustered volume group "mirrorvg" successfully created

command indicates that the volume group is clustered. You can verify that a volume group is clustered with thevgs
command, which will show the volume group's attributes. If a volume group is clustered, it will show a c attribute.vgs mirrorvg
[root@doc-07 ~]# vgs mirrorvg VG #PV #LV #SN Attr VSize VFree mirrorvg 3 0 0 wz--nc 68.97G 68.97G

mirrorlv
from the volume groupmirrorvg
. This volume has one mirror leg. This example specifies which extents of the physical volume will be used for the logical volume.lvcreate -l 1000 -m1 mirrorvg -n mirrorlv /dev/xvdb1:1-1000 /dev/xvdb2:1-1000 /dev/xvdc1:0
[root@doc-07 ~]# lvcreate -l 1000 -m1 mirrorvg -n mirrorlv /dev/xvdb1:1-1000 /dev/xvdb2:1-1000 /dev/xvdc1:0 Logical volume "mirrorlv" created
Copy to Clipboard Copied! Toggle word wrap Toggle overflow You can use thelvs
command to display the progress of the mirror creation. The following example shows that the mirror is 47% synced, then 91% synced, then 100% synced when the mirror is complete.Copy to Clipboard Copied! Toggle word wrap Toggle overflow The completion of the mirror is noted in the system log:May 10 14:52:52 doc-07 [19402]: Monitoring mirror device mirrorvg-mirrorlv for events May 10 14:55:00 doc-07 lvm[19402]: mirrorvg-mirrorlv is now in-sync

Copy to Clipboard Copied! Toggle word wrap Toggle overflow - You can use the
lvs
with the-o +devices
options to display the configuration of the mirror, including which devices make up the mirror legs. You can see that the logical volume in this example is composed of two linear images and one log.Copy to Clipboard Copied! Toggle word wrap Toggle overflow For release RHEL 4.8 and later, you can use theseg_pe_ranges
option of thelvs
to display the data layout. You can use this option to verify that your layout is properly redundant. The output of this command dispays PE ranges in the same format that thelvcreate
andlvresize
commands take as input.Copy to Clipboard Copied! Toggle word wrap Toggle overflow When you create the mirrored volume, you create theclustered_log
dlm space, which will contain the dlm logs for all mirrors.Copy to Clipboard Copied! Toggle word wrap Toggle overflow
