Solution Verified - Updated -

Issue

  • "Error: status on lvm "lvm_vg_sap" returned 1 (generic error)" on Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5
    • cluster service failovers on its own to sibling node on indicated error.
    • happens intermittenly ...

Environment

  • Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL) 5 Advanced Platform
  • Red Hat Cluster Suite cluster consisting of at least 2 nodes
    • HA-LVM configured in non-CLVMD mode
      • Using lvm_by_vg.sh script with multiple logical volumes in a single volume group
      • HA-LVM resource entry lists path to volume group instead of just volume group name (ie. vg_name="/dev/vg_data")
  • Shortly after a service containing an LVM resource is started successfully, a status check fails and the service relocates to another node in the cluster. This may happen repeatedly.
