SVP overview
The Service Processor (SVP) provides out‑of‑band configuration and management of the storage system, and collects performance data for key components to enable diagnostic testing and analysis.
The Hitachi Vantara-provided SVP is available as a physical 1U management server or as a 64-bit software application. For this current version, the physical SVP server and SVP software applications are supported in the environments shown in the following table.
