3. Running LVM in a Cluster
The Clustered Logical Volume Manager (CLVM) is a set of clustering extensions to LVM. These
extensions allow a cluster of computers to manage shared storage (for example, on a SAN) us-
ing LVM.
The clmvd daemon is the key clustering extension to LVM. The clvmd daemon runs in each
cluster computer and distributes LVM metadata updates in a cluster, presenting each cluster
computer with the same view of the logical volumes.
Figure 1.2, “CLVM Overview” shows a CLVM overview in a Red Hat cluster.
