In the ks.cfg file can you can also execute both pre and post installation scripts. After that, "google" how to create a custom RHEL or CENTOS Linux ISO. It is not difficult to do at all. Paul M.

I'm going to give RH cluster a try. It seems to me that the HA-LVM implementation uses LVM tags and the volume_list feature of LVM to implement the exclusivity I was looking for. Clever. If for some reason RH cluster won't work for me I can probably use the same trick to create reasonably newbie-proof manual failover scripts. Thanks to everyone for their help.
