Chapter 1. The LVM Logical Volume Manager

result in data corruption. If you have any concerns please contact your Red Hat service
representative.

Note

CLVM requires changes to the

lvm.conf

file for cluster-wide locking. For information

on configuring the

lvm.conf

file to support CLVM, see

Section 3.1, “Creating LVM

Volumes in a Cluster”

You configure LVM volumes for use in a cluster with the standard set of LVM commands or the LVM
graphical user interface, as described in

Chapter 4, LVM Administration with CLI Commands

and

Chapter 7, LVM Administration with the LVM GUI

For information on installing LVM in a Red Hat Cluster, see

Configuring and Managing a Red Hat

Cluster
