clvmd runs before the backend storage is ready?

The output of group_tool says the opposite, clvmd is running on both nodes, gfs volumes & rgmanager are running only on one.

I think some startup scripts clvmd depend on runs before it runs, find that service and make sure it runs before clvmd, you can confirm that by changing the sequence of clvmd script to run at last
