LVM Recovery Kit Administration Guide
Introduction
The LifeKeeper for Linux Logical Volume Manager (LVM) Recovery Kit provides logical volume
support for other LifeKeeper recovery kits. Thus, LifeKeeper-protected applications can take advantage
of the benefits offered by the Logical Volume Manager, including simplified storage management and the
ability to dynamically re-size volumes as needs change.
The LVM Recovery Kit is different from most other LifeKeeper recovery kits in that it is never used
alone, but always as a dependency of another LifeKeeper resource. As such, many of the operations
typically associated with a LifeKeeper recovery kit – for example, creating a hierarchy – are not directly
applicable to the LVM Recovery Kit.
