Yes, you have to declare all the VGs associated with each of the packages in the cluster.ascii file.

Hi,

You don't have to, but it is better to do it for administration purposes. When you enter your vg's in the config file, the vg's will be made cluster aware when you apply the config. If they are not in the config file, you have to do this manually: vgchange -c y vg...
Please note that the lock volume group, when used, must be added to the config file.

hi,
not really.
But in PKG config file if that vg is part of your package.

You must declare that VG in the cluster.ASCII or future cmapplyconf's will not load the current cluster ID on that VG - rendering it unactivatable by a vgchange command.

Hi Matrah,

You must declare the VG in the ascii configuration before before applying the cluster config if that VG is going to be part of the Cluster package. In case you miss a VG and want to do that, you can still add the VG once the cluster is running.

Have a look at the thread below to see what you can for reconfiguring a runnig cluster.
