The service processor (SVP) is integrated into the controller and can only be used by authorized Hitachi Vantara personnel. The SVP enables the Hitachi Vantara representative to configure, maintain, service, and upgrade the storage system, and it also hosts the Hitachi Device Manager - Storage Navigator software. The SVP collects performance data for key hardware components and is connected with a service center for remote maintenance of the storage system. The SVP does not have access to any user data stored on the storage system.
If an optional second SVP is installed, the primary SVP is the active unit while the secondary SVP acts as a hot standby. If the primary SVP fails, the hot standby SVP takes over. In this way, the dual-SVP configuration eliminates single points of failure with the SVP.
