+In a shared VG, lvmlockd is used for locking, and the following options
+are possible:
+
+With \-aey, the command activates the LV in exclusive mode, allowing a
+single host to activate the LV (the host running the command).  Before
+activating the LV, the command uses lvmlockd to acquire an exclusive lock
+on the LV.  If the lock cannot be acquired, the LV is not activated and an
+error is reported.  This would happen if the LV is active on another host.
+
+With \-asy, the command activates the LV in shared mode, allowing multiple
+hosts to activate the LV concurrently.  Before activating the LV, the
+command uses lvmlockd to acquire a shared lock on the LV.  If the lock
+cannot be acquired, the LV is not activated and an error is reported.
+This would happen if the LV is active exclusively on another host.  If the
+LV type prohibits shared access, such as a snapshot, the command will
+report an error and fail.
+
+With \-an, the command deactivates the LV on the host running the command.
+After deactivating the LV, the command uses lvmlockd to release the
+current lock on the LV.
+
+With lvmlockd, an unspecified mode is always exclusive, \-ay defaults to
+\-aey.
