You use the normal lvm2 tools to create the physical volumes, volume
groups and logical volumes (pvcreate, etc.).  You must use clvmd to make
the volumes cluster-aware and you must set up an appropriate lock
manager (gulm, etc.).

I've not used the commercial version of GFS.  My experience is with the
CVS tarballs, so I don't know what comes in the various RPMs nor where
the stuff gets installed by the RPMs.  You can query the RPMs via "rpm
-qil -p name-of-package.rpm" to see what in each RPM and were it will be
installed.

Wish I could be of more help.
