Well, two answers -
You could indeed write a pseudo-RA which monitors the DM-MPIO devs, or
feed their status directly into the CIB from multipathd (via an
unmanaged resource), or monitor the devs externally and modify a node
attribute accordingly (ie, "connected-to-san") and create a
rsc_location dependency. This is going to involve writing code.
Or you could simply assume that the likelihood of the DM-MPIO devs being
unavailable is really low (afterall, MPIO implies redundant connection);
if they really aren't available where the cluster tries to instantiate
the DomU, the start will simply fail and be retried on another node
within 1 second or so.
Personally, I would probably go with the second choice; lower
complexity.
