Hey,
I have had issues with storage before, where selinux was the culprit. I suggest you check
what selinux is set to on the existing nodes, perhaps they are permissive? The permission
denied might point in that direction.
Last time I had storage issues (my issues were related to migration and the sanlock
process not being able to set a lock), I changed the new node to permissive. It turned out
that the existing nodes were also set to permissive.
Hope this helps.
