These VG's don't varyon automatically. I'm not sure I have enough cables
for your config. I'll check. I've been told that there is somewhat of a
budget to fix this, but I'd rather not spend if I don't have to, if you
know what I mean.
Thanks, Bill.

Another thought: I would advise against having VGs vary on automatically at
startup, because you can't guarantee that all disks will be available at
that time. Consider the case where you're doing power maintenance, and all
machines are shut down. The sequence in which the machines are started and
their specific hardware configurations will determine at what point the
loops are intact. Any maintenance where you have two or more nodes down at
once could produce problems.
