It can be harmful if different hosts use different global locks.
There's a section in lvmlockd man page about how this happens and
how to correct it.  In short, it happens when you create a new sanlock VG
while the other one is not visible.  To correct it, you disable the global
lock in one of the VGs with 'lvmlockctl --gl-disable <vgname>'.
