I saw this in a bug report:

[root@xxxx-01 ~]# lvconvert -m 1 --corelog VG/cmirror
  Unable to convert the log of inactive cluster mirror cmirror

I've tried to clean-up the message a little more, so the name
of the mirror stands out more while preserving the sense that
it's not a problem with the specific device, but the fact that
it is inactive that is causing the problem.

New msg:
  Unable to convert the log of an inactive cluster mirror, cmirror
