Document URL: https://access.redhat.com/documentation/en-us/reference_architectures/2017/html/deploying_a_highly_available_red_hat_satellite_server_6_environment/installation_and_configuration#exclusive_activation_of_shared_volume_group

Section Number and Name: 2.3. EXCLUSIVE ACTIVATION OF A VOLUME GROUP IN A CLUSTER

Describe the issue: 
The lvmetad daemon is not currently supported across the nodes of a cluster:

https://access.redhat.com/documentation/en-US/Red_Hat_Enterprise_Linux/7/html/Logical_Volume_Manager_Administration/metadatadaemon.html

Suggestions for improvement: 
# lvmconf --enable-halvm --services --startstopservices

More information in: https://access.redhat.com/documentation/en-US/Red_Hat_Enterprise_Linux/7/html/High_Availability_Add-On_Administration/s1-exclusiveactive-HAAA.html

Additional information: 
You can see that lvmetad process is running on the satnodes:

Comment 1 Andrew Dahms 2018-07-23 05:31:47 UTC 
This bug was raised against the document "Deploying a Highly Available Red Hat Satellite Server 6 Environment", for which customers are now being asked to contact Red Hat (either their account team or consulting team) directly for assistance.

Because the product documentation team is unable to process this request, and in consultation with the Reference Architecture team, I am now closing this bug.
