On HP-UX disk mirroring is done in LVM. I'm using md driver for mirroring and LVM on top of it. Controlling access to my disks in LVM is just too late. I would have to assemble the array before I can activate VGs. If the array in question is being used on the other host nobody can guarantee that bad thing wont happen. And what I would like to prevent is: two hosts accessing (writing) an array. Thanks anyway for the hint.
