SVC needs to be quicker to resolve situations where a redundate component has a problem, so that servers and applications are not impacted (no timeouts in servers or applications which can lead to unpredictable results)

    especially in case of mirrored Volumes in an easytier relationship containing Flash pools the svc doesn't take care of the hot blocks in both sides. The hot blocks are only in one side (the preferred path) and in case of loosing this side, all the concerned volumes needs minutes to become online again.
