[Linux-cluster] Minimum requirements for clvm only?

Hey all,

I'm building a new system with shared FC storage primarily to allow Xen 
virtual machines to be migrated between host systems. I'd like to be able 
to use LVM or some similar system that allows me to name my own volumes, 
but don't need shared storage, rgmanager, etc. What are the minimum 
requirements to just get clvm working? I'm assuming I don't need fence 
devices and such for this, as those are primarily used to ensure that a 
system is writing to a filesystem when it's not supposed to? Also, are 
there any alternatives to clvm that may be better suited for this case?

Thanks!
