This doesn't powercycle the device, but blocks the write on the shared device. What kind of shared device are you using?

It's a GFS file system on a disk array. Since I built the cluster for 
MySQL and ldap services, it's the file system where actually are the 
database and directory files. The disk array is physically connected to 
both machines by a SCSI cable.
