I haven't used Lustre but was also researching on using it for same
purpose as shared storage for VMs. Dropped it in the end from
consideration after some discussion on the Lustre mailing list points
out that it's more intended for high performance rather than high
availability. So it might not be that suitable as a HA solution.

Have you considered trying Gluster instead?
