Ok, but I was able to access that LV without changing any flag, while both nodes were joined to the cluster. But now, I don't know why, it's working as it should be, and I can't use the LV to launch the VM while it is running on another node, under rgmanager control. OK. That's what I wanted. I could move the service through servers, but sometimes it has failed. I have done this many times in sequence, from master to slave, and vice-versa, just waiting a few seconds between each attempt, and it seems that sometimes the LV is not released. Anyway, such a test would not match a real situation, so I think this can be ignored. ( I have been changing my cluster.conf a lot, so, it's difficult to say what was wrong, if it was. Forget about. =/ ) >> I runned a test, disconecting the heartbeat link, making one server to >> be fenced, and the VM launched on the "winner" as expected.

Look, remember that this happens when I bring back the server that was fenced, still without any connection with the other, which VM was "moved" to. I can see that cman, clvmd, rgmanger and etc are running normaly, and each server thinks that he is alone. Let me try to make it easier to undestand, listing the steps I did: 1) Server A and B is up, VM service is started on cluster, and get running on server A; 2) Cable of heartbeat interface is disconnected; 3) Server A is fenced by B, and server B starts the VM service; 4( Clabe is kept disconnected; 5) Server A is turned on again and after it has completed the initialization, I can see that VM service is running, as well as server B, both getting access to the same LV. That's it, I hope you understand what I meant. My cluster.conf with which I have runned those test is here [1].
