Yes, I now get what you are saying :) Yes, I think that /etc/lvm/lvm.conf is right place to do this. Probably via the "filter" setting under the Devices section.

No amount of zoning is going to fix that. I should add that given this problem there is no way to use LVM inside of a VM guest using a physical disk of any kind without the host RH EL activating the volumes. SAN is just one case where this is going to occur, even with zoning. I'm currently exploring the options in lvm.conf. _______________________________________________ rhelv5-list mailing list [email protected] https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/rhelv5-list _______________________________________________ rhelv5-list mailing list [email protected] https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/rhelv5-list
