You have to import the diskgroup as shared not make a disk group as shared.

Shared storage implies two hosts can see same array, but only one host should
attempt to access a given LUN at a time.

A shared diskgroup is imported on multiple hosts simultaneously, and is a
concept of Clustered Volume Manager (CVM) which requires an additional license.

"vxdg import oradg" imports DG on one node only.

"vxdg -s import oradg" must be executed on the "master" CVM node, and it
imports the diskgroup as shared on all nodes in the CVM cluster.

Contact your Account Manager regarding:
SanPoint Foundation Suite/HA (SPFS/HA)
DataBase EDition/Advanced Cluster for Oracle (DBED/AC)

Each provides shared diskgroup capability using the included CVM license.
They also provide licenses for Cluster File System (CFS) and the necessary
lock manager components.
