Использование (Usage)

Initial set up Setting up LVM to use lvmlockd and a shared VG for the first time includes some one time set up steps:

1. choose a lock manager dlm If dlm (or corosync) are already being used by other cluster software, then select dlm. dlm uses corosync which requires additional configuration beyond the scope of this document. See corosync and dlm documentation for instructions on configuration, set up and usage.

sanlock Choose sanlock if dlm/corosync are not otherwise required. sanlock does not depend on any clustering software or configuration.

2. configure hosts to use lvmlockd On all hosts running lvmlockd, configure lvm.conf: use_lvmlockd = 1

sanlock Assign each host a unique host_id in the range 1-2000 by setting /etc/lvm/lvmlocal.conf local/host_id

3. start lvmlockd Start the lvmlockd daemon. Use systemctl, a cluster resource agent, or run directly, e.g. systemctl start lvmlockd

4. start lock manager sanlock Start the sanlock and wdmd daemons. Use systemctl or run directly, e.g. systemctl start wdmd sanlock

dlm Start the dlm and corosync daemons. Use systemctl, a cluster resource agent, or run directly, e.g. systemctl start corosync dlm

5. create VG on shared devices vgcreate --shared <vgname> <devices>

The shared option sets the VG lock type to sanlock or dlm depending on which lock manager is running. LVM commands acquire locks from lvmlockd, and lvmlockd uses the chosen lock manager.

6. start VG on all hosts vgchange --lock-start

Shared VGs must be started before they are used. Starting the VG performs lock manager initialization that is necessary to begin using locks (i.e. creating and joining a lockspace). Starting the VG may take some time, and until the start completes the VG may not be modified or activated.

7. create and activate LVs Standard lvcreate and lvchange commands are used to create and activate LVs in a shared VG.

An LV activated exclusively on one host cannot be activated on another. When multiple hosts need to use the same LV concurrently, the LV can be activated with a shared lock (see lvchange options -aey vs -asy.) (Shared locks are disallowed for certain LV types that cannot be used from multiple hosts.)

Normal start up and shut down After initial set up, start up and shut down include the following steps. They can be performed directly or may be automated using systemd or a cluster resource manager/agents.

• start lvmlockd • start lock manager • vgchange --lock-start • activate LVs in shared VGs

The shut down sequence is the reverse:

• deactivate LVs in shared VGs • vgchange --lock-stop • stop lock manager • stop lvmlockd
