Better late than never, I guess. You do it just as you would SAN LUNs with multiple paths. Use multipath tools/Device Mapper to figure out what device names point to the same disk. Use LVM to make the dm-xxx device names PVs (pvcreate). Use LVM to create a logical volume from the PVs (lvcreate). Put your file system on it (mkfs.??), and mount it.
