Operating Systems Solaris Sharing a physical disk with an LDOM Post 303042253 by hicksd8 on Thursday 19th of December 2019 04:16:14 PM
Old 12-19-2019
One thing for sure is that only one of the nodes (Solaris 11 Global or Solaris 10 LDOM) can have control of the volume. In any situation, having two operating systems writing to a volume simultaneously is a recipe for instant filesystem corruption. One operating system must control file opening, locking, etc. Even in a cluster scenario using dual tailed storage, a major function of the cluster suite is to control which node has exclusive control of the volume and effect disciplined failover when necessary.

Therefore, like any two nodes, one option is to mount the volume on one node, configure a NFS share on that node, and mount the volume using a NFS client from the second node. The first node then controls ALL activity on the volume.

NAME
       lvremove - remove a logical volume

SYNOPSIS
       lvremove  [-A|--autobackup  {y|n}]  [-d|--debug] [-h|--help] [-t|--test] [-v|--verbose] [--version] [-f|--force] [--noudevsync] LogicalVol-
       ume{Name|Path} [LogicalVolume{Name|Path}...]

DESCRIPTION
       lvremove removes one or more logical volumes.  Confirmation will be requested before  deactivating  any	active	logical  volume  prior	to
       removal.   Logical  volumes  cannot be deactivated or removed while they are open (e.g. if they contain a mounted filesystem).  Removing an
       origin logical volume will also remove all dependent snapshots.

       If the logical volume is clustered then it must be deactivated on all nodes in the cluster before it can be removed. A single lvchange com-
       mand issued from one node can do this.

OPTIONS
       See lvm(8) for common options.

       -f, --force
	      Remove active logical volumes without confirmation.

       --noudevsync
	      Disable  udev  synchronisation. The process will not wait for notification from udev.  It will continue irrespective of any possible
	      udev processing in the background.  You should only use this if udev is not running or has rules that ignore the devices	LVM2  cre-
	      ates.

EXAMPLES
       Remove the active logical volume lvol1 in volume group vg00 without asking for confirmation:

       lvremove -f vg00/lvol1

       Remove all logical volumes in volume group vg00:

       lvremove vg00
