[OT] how to acquire a clustered vg on a server without lvm2-cluster

[Gianluca Cecchi]

If I have a 2-nodes cluster with a clustered VG, that I copy (for
example dd with cluster switched off), is then possible to acquire
this VG on a third standalone node, or do I have to install the whole
cluster layer on this third node too?

This is on a rhel 5.2 server....

At the moment:
pvscan is ok.
 pvscan
  PV /dev/dm-11          VG VG_TEST   lvm2 [10.00 GB / 0    free]

vgscan
  Reading all physical volumes.  This may take a while...
  Skipping clustered volume group VG_TEST


vgchange -cn VG_TEST
  Skipping clustered volume group VG_TEST

vgchange -ae  VG_TEST
  Skipping clustered volume group VG_TEST

vgchange -al VG_TEST
  Invalid argument l
  Error during parsing of command line.

Installing lvm2-cluster takes all sort of cluster infrastructure and
probably licenses too...
