Abstract
The BVQ Offline scanner - for Storage, Compute or Network - is the application of choice to collect information for a BVQ analysis without installing any program. Start this application on any Windows, Linux or MacOS based server or laptop and let it collect configuration and performance information for a dedicated timeframe (hours up to days or weeks). This information is put into a single zip file which can be sent to a central BVQ service point (SVA or partners) where it will be analyzed for you. Transmission of the offline scanner zip file is encrypted by a https connection when sending it via SVA Sharefile.

There is one version of the tool available for each platform. To see which data is collected and how the data is collected, click on the desired platform:

- Running the BVQ Offline scanner is easy and non-critical. No installation is needed and it can be run on any MS Windows, Linux or MacOS based client system with TCP/IP connection to the systems to scan.
- Scan time is dependent on the objective of the scan:
- 10 -14 days of scanning is sufficient to prepare for any kind of analysis like risk analysis or IO density analysis for storage planning. This timeframe is also used for a BVQ PoC.
- 5-7 days of scanning is the minimum to prepare for a risk analysis.
- 1-2 days of scanning can be used for short term performance issue analysis (e.g. peak latency analysis) given that the bottleneck actually happens in this time. (Please let us know, when exactly the performance issue occurred.)
- There's a video tutorial available which shows how to use the scanner for SVC/Storwize:
