VCS Linux LVM Resource using PowerPath as third party driver multipathing

If PowerPath is being used as multipathing software for VCS LVMVolumeGroup Resource, PowerPath Pseudo name must be used for PV creation and native OS path name must be filtered for LVM as shown in RED below. Otherwise, LVM will not failover properly for device path failure causing VCS LVM Service Group failing as well.
