... well, you ­can- mount it from two locations, you¹re just inevitably
going to corrupt the heck out of the volume in question ... so don¹t do
that. ;-)

I would also echo Aaron¹s remarks about running Lustre servers on VMs ...
big waste of compute power, and you will run into significant
latency/contention issues.

cheers,
Klaus
