I have two node cluster only because my storage array only supports two
nodes, can I add a third node without it having access to the storage?
I am using CLVM to run domU's.

For what it's worth, considerations like these have
caused us to abandon any efforts to build a 2-node cluster.
>From this point forward all our RHCS deployments will have a
minimum of 3 nodes, even if the 3rd node is a small node that provides
no resources and only exists for arbitration purposes. (It was going
to be that, or a quorum disk for our application, but we have no
experience running a quorum disk over the long-haul in a production
envrironment.)
Hope this helps someone.
