Hello,

When I try to start VM i get following errors :

Code:

TASK ERROR: can't activate LV '/dev/proxmox-vg_test/vm-114-disk-0':   Cannot activate LVs in VG proxmox-vg_test while PVs appear on duplicate devices.

I tried to use
Code:
dmsetup remove -f /dev/proxmox-vg_test/vm-114-disk-0

command end successfully but still I can't run the VM. What's the trick to solve it?

p.s multipath-tools in installed on each of three nodes.
