Abstract
A system and method for avoiding object identifier collisions in a cluster environment is provided. Upon creation of the cluster, volume location databases negotiate ranges for data set identifiers (DSIDs) between a first site and a second site of the cluster. Any pre-existing objects are remapped into an object identifier range associated with the particular site hosting the object.
