Well GFS really should work, I'm just suggesting that you don't need it. And
the LUN's being "available" (as in, equivalent to the scsi cable being
plugged into the clustered shared scsi device) on multiple hosts is how HA on
a SAN is generally done. You really don't have to worry about it as long as
you configure the failback client to not write to it until it's really
time. :)
