You either need to add the system's volume groups to volume_list, or tag the system's vgs with the @hostname so it can still activate them. e.g. volume_list = [ "vg_pdcpicpl01", "@PDC-PIC-PL-CL1", "@PDC-PIC-PL-CL2" ] on one node and volume_list = [ "vg_pdcpicpl02", "@PDC-PIC-PL-CL1", "@PDC-PIC-PL-CL2" ] on the other. Next it will complain about initrd being older than lvm.conf, so I've been running # mkinitrd -f /boot/initrd-`uname -r`.img `uname -r` Not sure if that's the right command but it works for me =) One of these days I'm going to tag the system's vgs properly so I can use the same lvm.conf across the nodes. I think it's something like lvchange --addtag PDC-PIC-PL-CL1 vg_pdcpicpl01/lv_root etc... By the way, to display how things are tagged, you have to do lvs -o +tags I wish it displayed them in lvdisplay, but it doesn't. -- Andrew <o:p></o:p></div></body></html>
