What is the best way to deploy LVM in such a way that multiple

"common VG" for all of our servers. Note though that only one server
will actually access each LV, however it would be cool if another
server could make a snapshot to perform an rsync backup.
This is what cluster LVM is for. It provides a locking mechanism to
avoid conflicting changes to LVM metadata.
I'm a little confused on where CLVM fits into the "big picture". Let's
say I have one SAN server, and 10 Xen Servers. Where do I install CLVM?
Am I correct in saying that I only need to install CLVM on my Xen nodes?
Assuming that my SAN server is just a standard iSCSI server exporting a
few targets. I would probably only have 1 LUN per vg (hense 1 PV per vg).
Is that correct?
