Fixed In Version: lvm2-2.02.117-1.el6 Doc Type: Bug Fix
Doc Text:
The vgimportclone script makes some assumptions about the content of the lvm2 configuration file(s) on the system. In some cases, one or more of these assumptions is false and may cause the script to fail. We have rewritten the problematic portion of the script to make it more robust. In technical terms, we now use a new 'dumpconfig' feature to manipulate the configuration file instead of 'awk'.

Description Konstantin Volkov 2014-12-08 16:18:33 UTC
vgimportclone doesn't work in RHEL 6.6

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
[root@rhel66 ~]# rpm -qa lvm2
lvm2-2.02.111-2.el6_6.1.x86_64

How reproducible:
Always.

Steps to Reproduce:

1. Check existing VGs:
[root@rhel66 ~]# vgs
  VG          #PV #LV #SN Attr   VSize  VFree
  vg_rhel66     1   3   0 wz--n- 63,51g    0 
  vg_test       1   1   0 wz--n- 64,00g    0 

2. Try to rename a VG:
[root@rhel66 ~]# vgimportclone --basevgname vg_test2 /dev/sdb
Fatal: Temporary lvm.conf must contain 'filter' config.
[root@rhel66 ~]# echo $?
5

Actual results:
vgimportclone fails to rename an existing VG (error 5).

Expected results:
vgimportclone successfully renames an existing VG.

Additional info:
On lvm2 from RHEL 6.5 (lvm2-2.02.100-8.el6) all works as expected

Comment 2 Alasdair Kergon 2014-12-08 18:33:50 UTC
1) Please supply the output of 'bash -x vgimportclone...'

2) Please supply a copy of your LVM configuration file(s) e.g. /etc/lvm/lvm.conf

Comment 3 Alasdair Kergon 2014-12-08 18:40:04 UTC
You could also run with -d and look for the files in the temporary subdirectory it uses.

Comment 7 Alasdair Kergon 2014-12-09 14:14:38 UTC
Thanks for that - I've reproduced this.
Since that script was written, we've enhanced 'dumpconfig' and might be able to use a new option instead of the 'awk' which is going wrong.

Comment 9 Alasdair Kergon 2014-12-09 17:53:58 UTC
As a workaround, try uncommenting the line in lvm.conf:
  filter = [ "a/.*/" ]

(but there are several problems with the awk statement)

Comment 10 Peter Rajnoha 2014-12-10 13:22:48 UTC
This patch replaces the awk with dumpconfig to generate temporary lvm.conf for use in vgimportclone script:

There was also another bug and that is the vgimportclone did not call pvscan --cache to notify lvmetad about changes if lvmetad is used:
