LVM INACTIVE

After a reboot I noticed that my iSCSI LVM was missing.   I did an lvscan and it was listed, but as INACTIVE.

I ran lvchange -a y /dev/vg_nobakcup/lg_nobackup and the logical volume became active again.
I ran a lvscan to verify it was active.  
I then mounted the volume.
Upon reboot I had the same problem, so I added lvchange -a y /dev/vg_nobackup/lg_nobackup and rebooted again.   This time the volume was active and mounted.  PROBLEM SOLVED.

I believe the issue is this is an iSCSI Volume connecting to Microsoft's iSCSI Storage server.  I believe the connection just times out before connecting.
