Page 23: Chapter 1. San Volume Controller
Chapter 1. SAN Volume Controller The SAN Volume Controller is a SAN appliance that attaches open-systems storage devices to supported open-systems hosts. The IBM TotalStorage SAN Volume Controller provides symmetric virtualization by creating a pool of managed disks from the attached storage subsystems, which are then mapped to a set of virtual disks for use by attached host computer systems. - Page 24 for resilience. Each virtual volume is defined to an I/O group. To eliminate any single point of failure, each of the two nodes in the I/O group are protected by different uninterruptible power supplies. The SAN Volume Controller I/O groups see the storage presented to the SAN by the back-end controllers as a number of disks known as managed disks.
