    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.
