Thanks to:

"We run a two node cluster on TruCluster v1.6. The powerpath software has
to go on both nodes as there is no common root disk and therefore both nodes
have to have a separate operating system."
 - Lewis Handy

"NEVER run Powerpath on a 4.x system, even on one node (and I'm not sure
it's possible). We made the test and when a service reallocates, you've got
crash dump and corrupt of data. This is a well known problem due to the
fact powerpath hides informations to the system."
 - Emmanuel Bove

This was EMC's answer: We are wrong it is NOT supported in your
configuration. Now, can we have a napkin to wipe the egg off our face.
