rgmanager status check on lvm resource fails repeatedly with "Symbolic link for <device> is not present" in RHEL 5 or 6

Solution Unverified - Updated -

Issue

  • The lvm resource status check failed because /dev/vg/lv does not exist or is not a symbolic link (and it happens every hour)
  • Cluster services with lvm resources are failing status checks repeatedly:
Apr 15 04:05:00 node1 clurgmgrd: [5702]: <err> Symbolic link for /dev/vg/lv is not present 
Apr 15 04:05:00 node1 clurgmgrd[5702]: <notice> status on lvm "mylv" returned 1 (generic error)

Environment

  • Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL) 5 or 6 with the High Availability Add On
  • Cluster service(s) in /etc/cluster/cluster.conf with lvm resources
