Doc Text:
RAID logical volumes can become corrupted if they are activated in a clustered volume group. Thus, if there are RAID logical volumes in a volume group, that volume group is no longer allowed to be changed to a clustered volume group.

Comment 3 Jonathan Earl Brassow 2012-10-03 20:49:34 UTC
Unit test (VG cannot change to cluster when there is an active or inactive RAID LV present):

[root@hayes-02 lvm2]# lvcreate --type raid1 -L 100M -n lv vg 
  Logical volume "lv" created

[root@hayes-02 lvm2]# vgchange -cy vg
  RAID logical volumes are not allowed in a cluster volume group.

[root@hayes-02 lvm2]# vgs
  VG         #PV #LV #SN Attr   VSize  VFree
  vg           8   1   0 wz--n-  5.07t 5.07t
  vg_hayes02   1   3   0 wz--n- 74.01g    0 

[root@hayes-02 lvm2]# vgchange -an vg
  0 logical volume(s) in volume group "vg" now active

[root@hayes-02 lvm2]# vgchange -cy vg
  RAID logical volumes are not allowed in a cluster volume group.

[root@hayes-02 lvm2]# vgs
  VG         #PV #LV #SN Attr   VSize  VFree
  vg           8   1   0 wz--n-  5.07t 5.07t
  vg_hayes02   1   3   0 wz--n- 74.01g    0

commit 9efd3fb604ae34803bb2d4c94080c57d3efdba81

    RAID:  Do not allow RAID LVs in a cluster volume group.
    
    It would be possible to activate a RAID LV exclusively in a cluster
    volume group, but for now we do not allow RAID LVs to exist in a
    clustered volume group at all.  This has two components:
        1) Do not allow RAID LVs to be created in a clustered VG
        2) Do not allow changing a VG from single-machine to clustered
           if there are RAID LVs present.

Verified normal behavior with:

lvm2-2.02.98-2.el6.x86_64
