Hello, I found this mention of sharing Volume Groups across
Clusters
on the LVM howto:

Am I right in assuming that this means you can have a single volume
group active on multiple nodes in a cluster, provided that you
doing
mount the same logical volume on more than one node at a time?
Yes, you assume right *but* you need a cluster filesystem (eg, GFS)
as well to be able to mount shared logical volumes on multiple nodes
at once or you mess up the data.
Right, but I don't need GFS if I'm only going to mount the file
system
on one machine at a time, right?
No, just a lot of care and discipline :)
Great! And, my co-workers keep telling me, "You lack discipline!"
