# ocf\_heartbeat\_lvmlockd(7)

This agent manages the lvmlockd daemon

## NAME

ocf\_heartbeat\_lvmlockd - This agent manages the lvmlockd daemon

## SYNOPSIS

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

## DESCRIPTION

This agent manages the lvmlockd daemon. "lvmlockd" is like "clvmd". Both are used by LVM commands to coordinate access to shared storage, but with different design and implementations. "lvmlockd" can use two lock managers: dlm and sanlock. This agent only supports "dlm + lvmlockd". If dlm (or corosync) are already being used by other cluster software, you are advised to select dlm, then configure "controld" resource agent for dlm and this agent for "lvmlockd". Otherwise, consider sanlock for "lvmlockd" if dlm/corosync is not required.

Using lvmlockd requires the settings in LVM configuration file (/etc/lvm/lvm.conf): "locking\_type = 1" and "use\_lvmlockd = 1". This RA will change the settings respectively if needed.

For more information, refer to manpage lvmlockd.8.

## SUPPORTED ACTIONS

This resource agent supports the following actions (operations):

**start**

Starts the resource. Suggested minimum timeout: 90s.

**stop**

Stops the resource. Suggested minimum timeout: 90s.

**monitor**

Performs a detailed status check. Suggested minimum timeout: 90s. Suggested interval: 30s.

**meta-data**

**validate-all**

Performs a validation of the resource configuration. Suggested minimum timeout: 20s.

## EXAMPLE CRM SHELL

The following is an example configuration for a lvmlockd resource using the [**crm**(8)](/crm/8.md) shell:

```
primitive p_lvmlockd ocf:heartbeat:lvmlockd \
  op monitor timeout="90s" interval="30s" depth="0"
```

## EXAMPLE PCS

The following is an example configuration for a lvmlockd resource using [**pcs**(8)](/pcs/8.md)

```
pcs resource create p_lvmlockd ocf:heartbeat:lvmlockd \
  op monitor timeout="90s" interval="30s" OCF_CHECK_LEVEL="0"
```
