ids - used by sanlock - each host maintain a lockspace on each domain, allowing it to acquire resources on the leases volume. leases - used for acquiring resources. For example, the spm node acquire a resource on this volume inbox - every host can write message to the spm node using this volume outbox - the spm write messages to other hosts on this volume master - this volume is mounted on the spm node for storing stuff related to the master storage domain metadata - used to store storage domain metadata On block storage, these volumes are lvs. On file storage, these ares files.
