Using LVM with EMC PowerPath

Modify the filters field of the /etc/lvm/lvm.conf file to prevent LVM2 from scanning sd device nodes.

1. Modify the filter field in the /etc/lvm/lvm.conf file. Replace:

filter=[“a/.*/”]
with:
filter=[“r/sd*/”, “a/.*/”]

2. Rebuild the LVM2 cache. Enter:

vgscan -v

3. Verify that the filter field is working correctly. Run the command below and verify that the filtered device nodes are not listed in the command output. Enter:

lvmdiskscan
