It is reccommended to add CLVM / CLVM_NG storage pools as a Cluster scoped resource, so as to limited number of hosts that can access the pool for optimal performance and reliability.

Due to the lack of support from `lvm` to provide a centralized way to query which host has the lock for a given volume, CloudStack relies on tracking this information in the database. However, if there is a drift in this information, for example due to a host failure, CloudStack will attempt to query each host for the lock status of the volume. This can lead to performance issues if there are a large number of hosts in the cluster as each host will need to be queried for each volume.
