CLVM for CentOS 7

AlyRagab

How is the block device being shared? Shouldn't be any different than a normal local drive to the system.

the block device is shared from iSCSI SAN Storage

And the iSCSI device has /dev/sdb? Are you sure? Just double check that.

You are sure that you have a /dev/sdb1 device?

yes , since i have one disk in this server " /dev/sda " and after iscsiadm login to the shared lun from iSCSI Target i can see /dev/sdb

scottalanmiller

Any reason that you are using sdb1 not sdb?

@scottalanmiller i want to configure cluster between 3 nodes running with CentOS7 using pacemaker and shared storage ,
i have created the shared LUN on the storage and i can access it through all nodes,
i have configured the nodes with the basic configuration of the pacemaker and pcs status command shows me that everything is very good
all nodes are online and there is no any error ,

in one node from them i have created a partition "sdb1" so that i can create a GFS2 file system to that and then complete the cluster resource setup on it but have faced this error

Why a partition when you are using LVM?

AlyRagab

@scottalanmiller sorry , i mean i want to create the volume group based on this pyhiscal partition using the CLVM but i can not at this moment to do that

here is the output of the pvs command

@AlyRagab That's looking like something is wrong with the iSCSI mount.

i am using the below commands to access the storage :
the IP Address of the Target is : 192.168.1.40

iscsiadm -m discovery -t sendtargets -p 192.168.1.40
iscsiadm -m node -T iqn.2017-05.local.server:target -p 192.168.1.40:3260 --login
