Overview

IBM SAN Volume Controller (IBM Mod) Integration allows to discover and collect information about entities in your IBM Mod environment, such as IO groups, storage volumes, etc., and the relationships between them. This integration provides you with greater insight into your storage virtualizer environment, enabling organizations to align infrastructure service delivery to the needs of applications. The IBM Mod Integration also offers problem resolution using real-time performance information.

The IBM Mod Integration can traverse the connections in an IBM Mod environment and discover the entity types and relationship types identified in the following image:

One node in the IBM Mod environment is designated by the cluster as the configuration node. The IBM Mod Integration gathers information about the IBM Mod environment from that configuration node. Changes in the IBM Mod environment are not reflected in the IBM Mod Integration until the next discovery by the integration.

For information about IBM Mod, see the IBM Knowledge Center and the IBM Redbook, Implementing the IBM SAN Volume Controller and FlashSystem 820.
