Forgot to say if you want to proceed with above, ... node1 has to import 
its own GNBD sdb2 export. The key idea to keep in mind is that if you 
have any "local" configuration, other node would not be able to see it.

I also assume you've installed CLVM (lvm2) - that is "cluster LVM", not 
the plain LVM.
