volume group deactivation

vg get into deactivation after server rebooting
it is vgchange -a y next mount certainly cluster environment is not.
why VG deactivation?

Hi,

Check if you have disbaled auto VG activation switch for this VG in /etc/lvmrc file.

AUTO_VG_ACTIVATE=1

It should be set in /etc/lvmrc for all VG's to be activated by themselves.

HTH,

Hi

All the VG's in the server will get activated automatically during reboot if the AUTO_VG_ACTIVATE variable in /etc/lvmrc is set to 1. Pls check this file and see whether this variable is having a value 0.

A value of 0 to this variable means that automatic vg activation is diabled.

I would suggest you to try manually activating the vg first.

vgchange -a y

If this works, then check AUTO_VG_ACTIVATE variable in /etc/lvmrc

go etc/lvmrc
and then have look ;

AUTO_VG_ACTIVATE=0
