DIsk sharing: is it possible without MC/SG?

[Justo Exposito]

Hi Enrico,

Try vgdisplay and check the line VG STATUS.

This is from my MC/SG box:
VG Name /dev/vg02
VG Write Access read/write
VG Status available, exclusive
Max LV 255
Cur LV 24
Open LV 24
Max PV 16

This is from the box without MC/SG:
VG Name /dev/vg02
VG Write Access read/write
VG Status available
Max LV 255
Cur LV 13
Open LV 13

Regards,

Justo.

Hello,

You will be able to mount disk groups in exclusive mode using VxVM instead of LVM. VxVM ALWAYS mounts disk groups (the equivalent of volume groups in LVM) in exclusive mode. But, VxVM is not free anyway, and since you wanted to make things cheap...
