Possibly a starting point for automating LVM device permissions setting is
https://access.redhat.com/documentation/en-US/Red_Hat_Enterprise_Linux/6/...
and in particular the possibility to add, under /lib/udev/rules, a
customized file based on the one found in
/usr/share/doc/device-mapper/12-dm-permissions.rules
Not tried myself though...
I don't think permissions for the device are the root cause of the
issue. The way I see it behave when I try and mount it is:
vdsm will mount the device(If I'm quick I can see this with a LS). It
then tries to write some kind of test file(I'm guessing) and as the
mount point is still owned by root when vdsm tries to do the touch to
test it fails. Then vdsm backs out and I get the failed to add storage
error.
