There are three models of SAN Volume Controller nodes: the SAN Volume Controller 2145-4F2, the SAN Volume Controller 2145-8F2 and the SAN Volume Controller 2145-8F4. Figure 7 on page 2 and Figure 8 on page 2 provide illustrations of the three types of SAN Volume Controller nodes.
Figure 7. SAN Volume Controller 2145-4F2 node Figure 8. SAN Volume Controller 2145-8F2 and SAN Volume Controller 2145-8F4 node All I/O operations that are managed by the nodes in an I/O group are cached on both nodes. Each virtual volume is defined to an I/O group. To avoid any single point of failure, the nodes of an I/O group are protected by independent uninterruptible power supplies (UPSs).
The SAN Volume Controller provides continuous operations and can also optimize the data path to ensure that performance levels are maintained. Field replaceable units (FRU) can be removed and replaced on one node while the other node of the pair continues to run. This allows the attached hosts to continue to access the attached storage while a node is repaired.
Features of a SAN Volume Controller 2145-4F2 node The SAN Volume Controller 2145-4F2 node has the following features: v 19-inch rack mounted enclosure v Two 2 Gbps 2-port fibre-channel adapters (four fibre-channel ports) v 4 GB cache memory IBM System Storage SAN Volume Controller: Installation Guide...
