Hi Gianluca,
Can you try to reproduce it with FC? Maybe it's somehow related to that.
Did you try to lvremove the old lv's, or are they still in use?
Do you mean directly from OS using lvremove command?
Trying to do this from the SPM should be ok.
OK. I can try it on SPM node if you confirm
What do you mean synchronize the information at the other node side?
I mean that in the past I worked with RHCS clusters, in both kinds of LVM
configurations: 1) CLVMD and 2) HA-LVM
In 1) I have the LVM layer that is cluster aware so if I run commands that
modify metadata information for LVM (such as adding, removing, extending
LV) I'm confident.
In 2), as LVM itself is not cluster aware, it is dangerous to do LVM
metadata operations with both nodes accessing the shared volumes.
So in this case I typically executed these steps:
- relocate the services so that they are all on one node
- power down the other one
- execute the required LVM changes
- power on the second node to have it join the cluster again
- eventually relocate back part of the cluster services to the second node
If I run "lvs" command on both oVirt nodes, they now both show the
information regarding the not-removed LV.
How does oVirt manage synchronization and coherence of LVM metadata between
nodes?
This is what I meant with my question...
In any case, this is a disk that you don't need anymore,
isn't it? You
said that the copy part of the move operation went well.

Yes. the move operation succeeded and I'm usingthe target LV, that indeed
is marked with "open" (o) while the source not (-)
