Tru64 51b Cluster shared tmp

I just ran into a problem with my /tmp area on a 51b cluster and I was
wondering if any one has a fix. I had my tmp's mounted on local disks on
each member like the cluster admin manual chpt. 11 mentions. Then I had a
hardware
failure on one of the local disks so I moved my tmp disks out to the shared
bus, off an XP128, and then I ran into problems. Seems that if tmp is on the
shared bus if one member goes down the other member will mount it. Using
cfsmgr I can see it mounted on the other member, but it was unassigned. When
the boot member came back up it couldn't mount tmp and it panic'd.

Is there a way to have tmp on the shared disks, but be only accessible by
one member? I'm using an XP128 so I can't define the connections like you
can on the HSG80's.

Thanks,
