Error starting daemon: error initializing graphdriver: /dev/mapper/docker-thinpool is not available for use with devicemapper

Hello everyone,
Docker newbie here. I followed CONFIGURE DIRECT-LVM MODE MANUALLY from https://docs.docker.com/storage/storagedriver/device-mapper-driver/ because I have two “block devices”. After all the configuration and start up docker following error message appear.

docker version is 18.09.1-ol
OS version Oracle Linux Server release 7.6

[root@zsc-ecc-prod docker]# systemctl start docker
Job for docker.service failed because the control process exited with error code. See “systemctl status docker.service” and “journalctl -xe” for details.

so i look at “dockerd”

Here is my daemon.json
[root@zsc-ecc-prod docker]# cat /etc/docker/daemon.json
{
“storage-driver”: “devicemapper”,
“storage-opts”: [
“dm.directlvm_device=/dev/mapper/docker-thinpool”,
“dm.use_deferred_removal=true”,
“dm.use_deferred_deletion=true”
]
}

my docker volume is “avaliable”
[root@zsc-ecc-prod docker]# lvdisplay

Can someone please help me? I have no idea why it wouldn’t like “/dev/mapper/docker-thinpool”
