Hi All,
I added a new local disk and created a new LVM thinpool, VG and lVm’s for Gluster in a
4.5.3 HCI environment.
Following reboot the server enters Emergency Mode caused by inactive LV/VG. Running
‘vgchange - ay vg’ activates the LV’s.
LVM is configured to use device file but disabling this and using a filter allows the
system to start normally. Unfortunately ‘lsblk’ shows that the disk is under multipath
control.
I’ve tried to exclude this disk from multipath but all efforts have failed.
‘pvscan’ shows the device as /dev/mapper/‘wwid’ instead of /dev/sd*
I’ve added the wwid to the blacklists manually and restarted multipath but males no
change.
Regards
Simon
