CLVM needs a distributed lock manager to work (which communicates over
the network, not via the disk). This is usually provided with the help
of the RedHat Cluster Suite.

by default, locking type 2 or 3 requires clvmd, which as I say will
require a cluster setup of some kind.
You *can* work without a cluster manager but I'm not sure how advised it
is. So you leave your locking type as 1 and use "lvchange
--refresh /dev/vg/*" on all nodes to reload metadata from disk whenever
you make a change. Can be a bit risky.
