This IBM® Redpaper™ describes preferred practices for attaching the IBM XIV® Storage

System, Gen3, to either an IBM System Storage® SAN Volume Controller (SVC) or IBM

Storwize® Version 7000 virtual storage. It also explains what to consider in XIV Storage

System data migration when you use it in combination with SVC or Storwize V7000 storage.

This information is based on the assumption that you have SVC or Storwize V7000 and that

you are replacing back-end disk controllers with a new XIV system or adding an XIV as a new

managed disk controller.
