Page 31: Chapter 1. Overview Of The 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 32: A San Volume Controller Node
The SAN Volume Controller helps to provide continuous operations and can also optimize the data path to ensure performance levels are maintained. Ensure that you use IBM TotalStorage Multiple Device Manager performance manager to analyze the performance statistics. See IBM TotalStorage Multiple Device Manager Configuration and Installation Guide and IBM TotalStorage Multiple Device Manager CLI Guide for more information. - Page 33 pool.
