Problem when creating LVM

[tylerdurden81]

This is the error i am getting when i try to create a new LVM on ISCSI.

Error: command '/sbin/pvs --separator : --noheadings --units k --unbuffered --nosuffix --options pv_name,pv_size,vg_name,pv_uuid /dev/disk/by-id/scsi-14f504e46494c45003469416e39552d5a7952482d66365541' failed with exit code 5

Any idea's?

What is the output of that command if you run it manually?

Failed to read physical volume "/dev/disk/by-id/scsi-14f504e46494c45003469416e39552d5a7952482d66365541"

Waht kind of iSCSI server is that - ypu have permissions to access that volume?

 

[tylerdurden81]

The iSCSI is openfiler. This server has been running for about 8 months with no problems, but crashed over the weekend. I restored vms from backups and redid the openfiler storage but now i can not add it. I was able to connect to it will a windows 7 machine. I can set up the iSCSI part okay just not the LVM. I Do have permissions correctly setup.

So maybe the content of that disk is damaged?

I think that might be the case. I am not sure how to check the disks though?

 

[dietmar]

Does it work when you create an LVM on the openfiler box?

Some manufaturers have a disk testing software.

So after checking the disks they seem to be fine. It seems to me that there is some sort of issue with the uuid.
