SAN Volume Controller (SVC) Planning and Implementation Workshop

Plan and implement IBM SAN Volume Controller in your data center!

After completing this course, you should be able to:

• Distinguish the concepts of IBM Spectrum virtualization
• Recall the history for IBM SAN Volume Controller
• Classify the characteristics and components of the IBM SAN Volume Controller system and SAS attached expansion enclosures
• Outline setups required to integrate an SVC system solution
• Summarize the SVC systems- ability to scale for capacity and performance
• Summarize the virtualization process converting physical storage space into virtual resources
• Recall the process to create host access storage on an SVC system
• Differentiate the advanced software features designed to simplify data management, reclaim storage space, and preserve storage investments
• Differentiate methods in which to migrate data to and from the virtualized system environment
• Summarize the methods of remote data replications to improve availability and support for disaster recovery
