4 SVA Path User’s Guide
Summary of SVA Path Benefits
• Increases potential subsystem throughput by directing I/O
through multiple host adapters and SVA channels. Logical
drives can be assigned to host bus adapters, manually
balancing the I/O load across paths.
• Provides continuous access to mission-critical data by
insulating server applications from I/O path failures.
• Installs easily and is transparent to server applications.
• Allows you to limit access to devices in a multi-initiator
(SVA) environment using LUN (logical unit number)
exclusion.
