Thanks Lars,

    1/ add 1 block device on each of the 3 nodes, e.g /dev/sdd, /dev/sde
and /dev/sdf
    2/ map each block device to the other VM's

    When I run *# sbd -d /dev/sdd list *(same for all devices) it only
comes back with all the options I can use.
    I then run *# sbd -d /dev/sde allocate <nodename>* for each device and
I can see e.g
    on testclu01 (node1)
    *# sbd -d /dev/sde list
*
*    0     testclu02       test     testclu01*
    *but on /dev/sdd
    # sbd -d /dev/sdd list
    0     testclu01       clear*
    *# sbd -d /dev/sdf list*
    (empty)

    on testclu03 (node3):
    *# sbd -d /dev/sde list*
    *0     testclu01       clear
    # sbd -d /dev/sdf list
    **0     testclu02       test     testclu01*
    *# sbd -d /dev/sdd list
    *(empty)*
*
    So I'm not sure if this is ok or not ?
