I'm not sure the specific components required... do you have clvmd running?
It seems as if you are saying that when you do a vgimport on one system, the VG is imported on other systems? That does not make any sense to me, unless you are using CLVM (which, again, I think requires Your best bet is really to zone your SAN so servers cannot see the same disks - it is potentially very dangerous!

Configuration: hostA and hostB see the same SAN LUNs. I've created each LUN as a PV (pvcreate). I've created a VG with vgcreate using one of the LUNs. When I import the VG on hostA, it also shows up as available on hostB. Is there a way to prevent that, so that the VG is only available on the host that I issued the command on?
