IBM SAN Volume Controller Overview
The IBM SAN Volume Controller (SVC) provides virtualized storage--that is, an array of arrays. As such, this technology requires specific terminology to describe physical and logical configurations. Since NetBackup IT Analytics reports on a variety of storage systems, the following table offers a simple glossary of terminology in the context of heterogeneous storage reporting.
Table: SAN Volume Controller Overview
Column name | Description |
---|---|
Generic Terminology | Corresponding SVC-specific Terminology |
Array | Cluster (up to 4 pairs of nodes) |
Disk, Hard Disk, or Raw Storage | MDisk (managed disk) or Backend LUN, which is the physical storage carved up into logical units |
Storage Pool | MDisk Group |
LUN | VDisk (virtual disk); often referred to as front-end storage |
Node | One SAN Volume Controller |
Figure 6.2 Overview of IBM SVC Architecture
The following diagram illustrates the elements comprising the storage provisioning process, from back-end MDisks to creating RAID disks for VDisk LUNs. The storage in VDisk LUNs is the capacity that is presented to Hosts.
Use this diagram to understand how certain values are displayed in the NetBackup IT Analytics SVC reports:
Copy Capacity includes both mirrored and un-mirrored LUNs.
Space-Efficient VDisks (LUNs), also known as thin-provisioned storage, can have VDisk LUN capacity that is greater than the Allocated Disk capacity (displayed as Real Capacity in some reports).
