Is LUKS cluster save?

Hi there,

lately I had the idea of setting up an external storage for a small cluster.
I asked myself if I could encrypt the storage? So the question is:
Is LUKS cluster save in the following way?

+-----------+   +-----------+
|Linux box 1|   |Linux box 2|   both LUKSOpen the HDD independently evtly
+-----+-----+   +-----+-----+   with different keys
       \             /          both mount the OCFS2 filesystem on success
        \           /
         \         /
firewire  \       /
or scsi    \     /
or SAS   +--+---+--+
         |  OCFS2  |
         |   on    |
         |  LUKS   |
         |   on    |
         |   HDD   |
         +---------+

I'm not sure if LUKS writes something to the header (or elsewhere on the storage) on a successful LUKSOpen.

Thanks an best wishes
Lars
