Architecture
The Sun SNDR software operates on logical volumes that can be linear, striped, or RAID devices. You can create the logical volumes by using the Sun Solstice DiskSuite™ or Veritas Volume Manager software.
The core Sun SNDR software code is a kernel module that interfaces to the network storage control module (NSCTL) data service framework. The Sun SNDR software is configurable on any device that is accessible through the NSCTL data service framework. The sndradm CLI is the external user interface used to manage the Sun SNDR software.
FIGURE 1 shows the relationship between SNDR and the rest of the NSCTL data service framework.
