# ocf\_heartbeat\_LVM(7)

Controls the availability of an LVM Volume Group

## NAME

ocf\_heartbeat\_LVM - Controls the availability of an LVM Volume Group

## SYNOPSIS

**LVM** \[start \| stop \| status \| monitor \| meta-data \| validate-all\]

## DESCRIPTION

Resource script for LVM. It manages an Linux Volume Manager volume (LVM) as an HA resource.

## SUPPORTED PARAMETERS

**volgrpname**

The name of volume group.

(unique, required, string, no default)

**exclusive**

If set, the volume group will be activated exclusively. This option works one of two ways. If the volume group has the cluster attribute set, then the volume group will be activated exclusively using clvmd across the cluster. If the cluster attribute is not set, the volume group will be activated exclusively using a tag and the volume\_list filter. When the tag option is in use, the volume\_list in lvm.con must be initialized. This can be as simple as setting 'volume\_list = \[\]' depending on your setup.

(optional, boolean, default false)

**tag**

If "exclusive" is set on a non clustered volume group, this overrides the tag to be used.

(optional, string, default "pacemaker")

**partial\_activation**

If set, the volume group will be activated partially even with some physical volumes missing. It helps to set to true when using mirrored logical volumes.

(optional, string, default "false")

## SUPPORTED ACTIONS

This resource agent supports the following actions (operations):

**start**

Starts the resource. Suggested minimum timeout: 30s.

**stop**

Stops the resource. Suggested minimum timeout: 30s.

**status**

Performs a status check. Suggested minimum timeout: 30s.

**monitor**

Performs a detailed status check. Suggested minimum timeout: 30s. Suggested interval: 10s.

**methods**

**meta-data**

Retrieves resource agent metadata (internal use only). Suggested minimum timeout: 5s.

**validate-all**

Performs a validation of the resource configuration. Suggested minimum timeout: 5s.

  op monitor depth="0" timeout="30s" interval="10s"
```

## EXAMPLE PCS
