[Linux-cluster] CLVM - Locking Disabled

[Navaro Benjamin]

Hi list,

Is it normal for a fresh install that CLVM says that the locking is
disabled while locking_type is set to 3 in lvm.conf ?

[root at myhost ~]# clvmd -d
CLVMD[e2bd6170]: May 18 12:42:24 CLVMD started
CLVMD[e2bd6170]: May 18 12:42:24 Connected to CMAN

I guess it's related to this following warning when trying to list the
vg's (while clvmd is up) :

[root at myhost ~]# vgs
  connect() failed on local socket: No such file or directory
  WARNING: Falling back to local file-based locking.
  Volume Groups with the clustered attribute will be inaccessible.
  VG   #PV #LV #SN Attr   VSize  VFree
  vg00   1   7   0 wz--n- 24.28G 10.44G

This prevents me from creating a clustered VG (actually I can create a
clustered VG, but not the LV inside).

[root at myhost ~]# vgcreate -c y vggfs01 /dev/sdb2
  connect() failed on local socket: No such file or directory
  WARNING: Falling back to local file-based locking.
  Volume Groups with the clustered attribute will be inaccessible.
  No physical volume label read from /dev/sdb2
  Physical volume "/dev/sdb2" successfully created
  Clustered volume group "vggfs01" successfully created
[root at myhost ~]# lvcreate -L 500M -n lvgfs01 vggfs01
  connect() failed on local socket: No such file or directory
  WARNING: Falling back to local file-based locking.
  Volume Groups with the clustered attribute will be inaccessible.
  Skipping clustered volume group vggfs01
[root at myhost ~]#

The final goal is to build a GFS shared storage between 3 nodes.
The cman part seems to be OK for the three nodes :

[root at lhnq501l ~]# cman_tool services
type             level name       id       state
fence            0     default    00010001 none
[1 2 3]
dlm              1     rgmanager  00020003 none
[1 2 3]
dlm              1     clvmd      00010003 none
[1 2 3]

This is my first RHEL cluster, and I'm not sure where to investigate
right now.
If anyone has ever seen this behaviour, any comment is appreciated,

Thanks,

- Ben.
