The IBM SVC (SAN Volume Controller) scales far beyond any single large storage subsystem, so an overall storage methodology should be employed to manage the storage at the virtual layer. A virtual storage strategy is unique to each install and is developed and deployed by understanding the IBM SAN Volume Controllers virtual layer of management, the storage hardware connected together, and finally, the internal storage architecture. The scope of this paper provides a methodology for net-new and first time installs of the IBM SVC and the IBM TotalStorage DS4200, DS4700, and DS4800 TotalStorage servers - using predefined building blocks of storage configured with generic and repeatable settings to provide scalable performance.
