Please consider the following case:
there are multiple storage servers each configured as LVM on top of a RAID,
and the servers are connected by DRBD to synchronize the RAIDs.
The question is
1) can I safely active a read-only volume on all of the servers?
Depends on your file system. GFS2 and OCFS2 is fine. Most all others are
not. In either case, you can't mount a Secondary DRBD resource no matter
what.
2) can I safely active a read-write volume on a randomly chosen server?
You need a cluster-aware files system like GFS2 and, in the context of
LVM, you need clustered VGs and LVs which requires clvmd to be running.
3) how about thin pool and volumes?
I've not played with these.
