Clvm need to be in a quorate cluster for work & if you use clvm in one node of the cluster i think the should has access to the storage
your using the 3node to provide the quorum?
esample: if one node of your two primary nodes goes down the it's still quorute, but if two node goes down and you are no using a quorum disk, you lose the quorum state
I don't know why you use a node to privide the quorum, if you are use SAN why not use a lun for use as quorum disk
All nodes in the cluster should has access to the storag

Error locking on node node3: Volume group for uuid not found: <snip>

This can't be "by design", can it?
Does pvscan show the right device? Are all nodes in the cluster? What does 'cman_tool status' and 'dlm_tool ls' show?
The third node cannot access the storage, this is by design. I have three datacenters but only two have access to the active storage. The third datacenter only has an async copy, and will only activate (manually) in case of a massive disaster (failure of both the other datacenters).
So I deliberately have a failover domain with only node1 and node2. node3's function is to provide quorum, but also be able to be activated (manually is fine) in case of a massive disaster.
In other words node3 is part of the cluster, but it can't see the storage during normal operation.
Looking at it another way, it's kind of as if we had a 3-node cluster where one node had an HBA failure but is otherwise working. Surely node1 and node2 should be able to continue running the services?
So my question is, do I have an error somehwere, or is clvm really actually not able to function without all nodes being active and able to access storage?
