Known problem. ML Note 358617.1.
------------------------------
Cluvfy currently does not work with devices other than scsi devices.

So devices like emc powerpath, volume groups etc will fail when
checked using cluvfy for shared accessibility.
------------------------------

I usually check it manually - dd to it on one node and dd from it on
another and check that mapping is the same.
