Alan, Its a FC SAN. Here is multipath -v2 -ll output and looks good . -- mpath13 (360060e8004770d00770d03e9) dm-28 HITACHI,OPEN-V*4 [size=2.0T][features=1 queue_if_no_path][hwhandler=0][rw] \_ round-robin 0 [prio=2][active] \_ 5:0:1:7 sdt 65:48 [active][ready] \_ 6:0:1:7 sdu 65:64 [act

Removed the first few blocks and last cylinder successfully.So no GPT signatures now. pvcreate and vgcreate were successfully but not the lvcreate again. *pvs o/p:* /dev/mpath/mpath13 prd_vg10 lvm2 a- 2.00T 2.00T *vgs o/p:* prd_vg10 1 0 0 wz--nc2.0

Keith, Yes clvm is running. Here is what I have done. 1) LUN assigned to the cluster nodes 2) multipathd detected the LUNs in all nodes 3) used GNU parted to create EFI/GPT 4) DID: kpartx -a /dev/mapper/mpath13 , then I see mpath13p1 5) pvcreate /dev/mapper/mpath13p1 6) vgcreate -c y prd_vg10 /d

I have used multiple >2T physical volumes in my large cluster. Do you have clvmd running and does your LVM have the cluster flag turned on? On Fri, Aug 12, 2011 at 11:24 AM, Paras pradhan wrote: > Does it mean that I don't need mpath0p1 ? If its the case i don't need to > run kpartx on mpath0? >

Does it mean that I don't need mpath0p1 ? If its the case i don't need to run kpartx on mpath0? And not having mpath0p1 will take away this device mapper ioctl failed issue when creating lvcreate? I am really confused why this lock has failed , also not sure if this is related to this >2TB LUN.

Your physical volume can be a whole disk (mpath0) or a partition (mpath0p1). I use the partition schema as blank disks could be accidentally used by a follow on admin who does not fully understand the system configuration. Keith Sent from my iPhone On Aug 12, 2011, at 10:14, Paras pradhan wr
