Comment 5 Steven J. Levine 2016-04-06 22:21:02 UTC 
I'm moving this status to VERIFIED rather than closed current release because I decided to add a mention of this script after all --- we already mention in the ha-lvm appendix to the Cluster Administration manual that you need to be sure that locking type is set to 1, so I added the note that lvmetad should be disabled as well, and mentioned this new option to the lvmconf command. The procedure for configuring HA-LVM with tagging now includes this step:

"In the global section of the /etc/lvm/lvm.conf file,
ensure that the locking_type parameter
is set to the value '1' and the use_lvmetad parameter
is set to the value '0'.

As of Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6.7, you can use the --enable-halvm option
of the lvmconf to set the locking type to 1 and disable lvmetad.
For information on the lvmconf command, see the lvmconf man page."

This has been fixed since RHEL 6.7, but the component tag here is wrong so it did not get moved to CLOSED.  Closing now.
