That looks about right.  You also want fencing if you're using clustered
LVM to protect the LVM metadata, but I don't know if it's strictly
*required* or not, since you're statically assigning VGs to specific
nodes.

Note that if you just assign static LUNs to each node and manage those
LUNs from the SAN management interface, you don't even need lvm2-cluster
or CMAN.  For example, you can present only certain LUNs to certain
computers.
