I guess I don't know how to configure this right.

[Michael Vogt (mvo)]

I close the apt task here, there is little apt can do.

[Fabio Massimo Di Nitto (fabbione)]

you clearly installed clvm in the first place and that did work just fine because clvm is instructed not to start on install.
then you did dist-upgrade without configuring cman (redhat-cluster-suite) or running it. That makes clvm fail as you see:
"Starting Cluster LVM Daemon clvmd could not connect to cluster manager".
clvm expects cman to run.
also clvm is provided by lvm2 package as extra plugin for the cluster-suite and not viceversa.

O.k. that's great, so how does one configure this to work?
They all act like they depend on the other things being configured first.
clvm
redhat-cluster-suite
system-config-cluster

I think this might have configured itself somehow over time, but I am still interested to know how to configure it.
So maybe it's not a bug, that's probably good.

[miked (miked11)]

Actually it didn't configure itself, my terminal spit-up is gone because I had to do a fresh install after running Kleansweep and it removed files needed that were not installed right because it ran out of hard drive space.
