Typically as long as I mark the volume group as active on the node that I want the vgscan to be usable vgchange -a y ${volume_group} takes care of presenting the device files where on the node it was activated on. Hope that helps. [-- Attachment #2: Type: text/html, Size: 1149 bytes --] ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 2+ messages in thread
