General Description

This section provides physical and functional overviews of the SANbox Storage 
Services Platform (SSP) Management GUI, the StoreAge Storage Virtualization 
Manager (SVM) solution, and related hardware.

StoreAge SVM is a SAN appliance that together with the SANbox SSP enables 
highly available networks and provides centralized, network-based volume 
management, snapshot, replication, and mirroring across all storage devices within 
a SAN. For more information about high-availability, see 

 for more information and a diagram.

Unlike host-based or storage-based volume management and data replication 
technologies, StoreAge SVM is a network-based solution that centrally manages 
all storage regardless of the operating systems or storage devices in use. By 
deploying SVM agents on SANbox SSP, StoreAge leverages QLogic’s intelligent 
storage application technology to deliver centralized storage management, 
business continuity, and disaster recovery capabilities across all attached servers 
and storage subsystems within a SAN.

The SVM GUI is a web-based interface to the SVM appliance. You can access the 
SVM GUI from a local or remote location using a standard browser. Use the SVM 
GUI to configure storage pools, provision virtual volumes and manage access to 
them, and manage point-in-time copies of virtual volumes.

Using a standard web browser, you can configure, maintain, and monitor the 
SANbox SSP chassis through the SANbox SSP Management GUI. The GUI 
provides access to all chassis management functions, including SANbox SSP 
status, port management and configuration, diagnostics, and a telnet window.

Alternatively, use the command line interface (CLI), which provides the same 
functions as the SANbox SSP Management GUI through serial, telnet, or ssh 
connections. All configuration, maintenance, and monitoring tasks for the SANbox 
SSP chassis are accessible through the CLI.
