Common useful commands for KVM Guests

LVM error fixes:

  • not exclusive for KVM, but since I have so many of these VM's thats where I see it a lot.
  • commonly happens when do-release-upgrade is run, or when some updates happen to the lvm code. My GUESS is that the metadata contains the lvm version in there somewhere and does not get updated.
  • This fix is only for the metadata
  WARNING: PV /dev/sda5 in VG dns01-vg is using an old PV header, modify the VG to update.

Fix:

vgck --updatemetadata dns01-vg
vgck --updatemetadata <VG Name from warning message>
