List, I am in the process of uploading OS and data LVM disk image from ovirt(KVM) files fo our OpenStack Ussuri setup with KVM and glance. I am able to upload the disk ( qcow2 images and profile the VM image). But I could not able to get the logical volume visible to the populated VM. Here the data volume is LVM partition as another disk image handed over to us by our service provider. here the steps I followed to get the LVM partition (/dev/vdc2) in question to get visible to our VM without success. Kindly help to solve this issue. ################################################## [root@ma-app ~]# fdisk -l Disk /dev/vda: 64.4 GB, 64424509440 bytes, 125829120 sectors Units = sectors of 1 * 512 =
