Re: LVM VG Activation

[Tom Spec <samag70-ignore@xxxxxxxx>]

Two systems using shared disks in a clustered environment. 

When both systems are up I can de-activate the VG on one system, activate it on the other and vice-versa.  What I'm not sure about is what happens if the "non-active" system reboots. Will it try to activate those VGs (which are currently in use by the other system?)  Is this an issue?

I don't think you can. rc.sysinit does a "vgchange -ay".

What is the problem you're trying to solve?
