[linux-lvm] [lvmlockd] Reload configuration while lvmlockd and sanlock running

[linux-lvm] [lvmlockd] Reload configuration while lvmlockd and sanlock running

[Damon Wang]

Hi all,

I want to change host id of one host, or open debug log of sanlock
online and make it take effect.

afaik we can't restart lvmlockd or sanlock without side effects -- all
locks must be released before sanlock shutdown, and if wdmd enabled,
the host maybe reboot after a while...

So if there any way to reload configuration of sanlock and lvmlockd? I
don't want to reboot my host...

Thanks

Damon

Deactivate LVs in shared VGs, stop the shared VGs (vgchange --lockstop),
stop lvmlockd, stop sanlock, stop wdmd, make config changes, then start
everything again.  Dave

tried and worked, really thanks :-D

besides if only change host id, it seems can take effect immediately
on a new vg or stop and change a exists vg as you said:

# as above, host id for pool4 is 94 while host id for
ff35ecc8217543e0a5be9cbe935ffc84 is still 49

if we stop lock of ff35ecc8217543e0a5be9cbe935ffc84 and then start,
its host id also will change to 94
