8Chapter 8.SVC migration with <strong>XIV</strong>This chapter discusses data migration considerations for the <strong>XIV</strong> <strong>Storage</strong> <strong>System</strong> when usedin combination with the <strong>IBM</strong> SAN Volume Controller (SVC). It presumes that you have anexisting SVC <strong>and</strong> that you are replacing back-end disk controllers with a new <strong>XIV</strong> or simplyadding an <strong>XIV</strong> as a new managed disk controller.The combination of SVC <strong>and</strong> <strong>XIV</strong> allows a client to benefit from the high-performance gridarchitecture of the <strong>XIV</strong> while retaining the business benefits delivered by the SVC (such ashigher performance via disk aggregation, multivendor <strong>and</strong> multi-device copy services, <strong>and</strong>data migration functions).The order of the sections in this chapter address each of the requirements of animplementation plan in the order in which they arise. This chapter does not, however, discussphysical implementation requirements (such as power requirements), as they are alreadyaddressed in the book <strong>IBM</strong> <strong>XIV</strong> <strong>Storage</strong> <strong>System</strong>: Architecture, Implementation, <strong>and</strong> Usage,SG24-76599, found here:http://www.redbooks.ibm.com/Redbooks.nsf/RedbookAbstracts/sg247659.html?Open© <strong>Copy</strong>right <strong>IBM</strong> Corp. 2010.
