Take your choice.

With the HP class of server use iLo as your cluster device.

You must use a fence device and optionally you can use a quorum device.

You can use Cluster LVM, that is, your volume group should be set as "clustered". Then if you want to use a file system on it, you should use a shared file system as GFS or OCFS2.
