Volume Groups
Each section is set up as an expandable tree, with links to property sheets for specific devices,
partitions, and storage entities.
Configure the storage for your cluster to suit your cluster requirements. If you are configuring Red Hat
GFS, configure clustered logical volumes first, using CLVM. For more information about CLVM and GFS
refer to Red Hat documentation for those products.
Note
Shared storage for use in Red Hat Cluster Suite requires that you be running the cluster logical
volume manager daemon (clvmd) or the High Availability Logical Volume Management agents
(HA-LVM). If you are not able to use either the clvmd daemon or HA-LVM for operational reasons
or because you do not have the correct entitlements, you must not use single-instance LVM on
the shared disk as this may result in data corruption. If you have any concerns please contact
your Red Hat service representative.
