Cluster using RAW Device

Hi Gurus,
I was trying to configure a cluster environment using DU4.0b a
TruCluster 1.4A.
We are using informix 7.24x. In the shared disk we have raw devices
using LSM. (stripe thru hardware and mirror thru software). We choose
"Disk service" when we add a service using "asemgr". The problem is when
trucluster ask me to introduce the "device special file, Advfs domain
or LSM...." We add "/dev/rvol/prico_dg/VOL1" and the cluster saw it like
"UFS" I mean "/dev/vol/prico_dg/VOL1" not "rvol". In other words we can
not add "RAW devices". What we did was create a shared Advfs file domain
and create links that point to "/dev/rvol" and we configure this Advfs
as a Disk Service.
When we test this option, works ok, the services (including the links)
was transfered to the other machine and my data stay in the same place,
in other words we did not lose data.

I want to know if there is a direct way to introduce a service that only
use raw device, with no File System thru the way.

TIA
Unix Admin.
