I'm following up as there seems to be closure. I believe there were two things going on: 1) I neglected to use the znetconf -A command when setting up a second network interface 2) RHEL 6.2 froze at shutdown, as described. So if I address (1) by adding the znetconf call, then (2) does not arise. Still Linux should be more bulletproof than than, so I opened a Red Hat Bugzilla entry (872702). Further, it seems to have later caused the issues I encountered later with LVM and SCSI/FCP disks. Now that I addressed (1), I am not seeing that issue either. Yes I agree it seems strange that setting up a network interface can affect LVMs, but that sure seems to be the case. Thanks to Steffen Maier, Rick Troth and Filipe Miranda for their help on this.
