Installing the SVP software on an
Oracle Linux KVM host
Hitachi Vantara supports configurations where a single SVP communicates with a single
VSP Gx00 or VSP Fx00 model. This configuration can coexist with, or replace, all other
physical, virtual, and bare-metal SVP configurations.
Physical network connection for an Oracle Linux KVM-based
SVP
SVP and storage system connections are performed using the ports on the back of these
devices.
The following figure shows the physical network connection for an Oracle Linux KVM-
based SVP configuration using the Hitachi Virtual Storage Platform G800. Adjust your
connections appropriately if you use different VSP Gx00 models or VSP Fx00 models.
Note: The Oracle Linux KVM server running the VM instance cannot be used
with the storage system if it belongs to different subnets, and if a router or a
firewall is filtering packets according to a defined condition. There is no
distance limit between the server running the SVP application and the storage
array being managed if they belong to the same subnet.
