+- `shared`

+  If set to `true`, the role creates or manages a shared volume group. Requires lvmlockd and
+  dlm services configured and running.

+  Default: `false`

+  __WARNING__: Modifying the `shared` value on an existing pool is a

   A list which specifies the set of disks to use as backing storage for the pool.
