Service Processor (SVP)

The Lightning 9900™ subsystem includes a built-in laptop PC called the service processor
(SVP). The SVP is integrated into the controller frame and can only be used by authorized
Hitachi Data Systems personnel. The SVP enables the Hitachi Data Systems representative to
configure, maintain, and upgrade the 9900 subsystem. The SVP also collects performance
data for all key components of the 9900 subsystem to enable diagnostic testing and analysis.
The Hitachi Graph-Track™ software product (see section 3.7.27) stores the SVP performance
data on the Remote Console PC and allows users to view the data in graphical format and
export the data for statistical analysis. Note: The SVP does not have access to any user data
stored on the 9900 subsystem.
