IBM SAN Volume Controller (SVC) is a block storage virtualization appliance. The IBM SAN Volume Controller implements an indirection, or "virtualization,” layer in a Fibre Channel storage area network (FC SAN). IBM SAN Volume Controller (SVC) is always deployed as a cluster of nodes. Each node is a 1U high rack-mounted appliance based on an IBM System x server (SVC machine type is 2145). Each node has at least four Fibre Channel ports and is protected by a dedicated uninterruptible power supply. A node runs a Linux kernel and a specialized Virtualization Storage Software environment that provides proprietary clustering capability. Each node has a service controller which provides a 2-row display, and a 5-button keyboard used to configure, service, and monitor status. Note: All trademarks, such as IBM SAN Volume Controller®, are property of their respective owners.
