The easiest and safest way to do it is to use lvm2's --config switch
to temporarily disable clustered locking for the vgchange command.

Of course, before doing this, you should check to ensure that the
cluster really is disabled/inquorate or otherwise unusual (or in
the case of an accidental "vgchange -cy" that it doesn't exist :).

The command looks like:

  # vgchange -cn $vgname --config 'global {locking_type = 0}'

Where $vgname is the name of the VG to modify.

If you're on Red Hat and have a portal account there's some
additional detail in the following kbase article:
