The App Volumes Agent is made up from two different specific elements. Each one responsible for different tasks within the environment.

First off we have the SVdriver, which is responsible for the virtualization of volumes into the operating system and ensures that applications within AppStacks appear as though they were locally installed for example.

Secondly there is the SVservice. This is responsible for how the volumes are controlled as well as for the communication with the App Volumes Manager.

You can configure App Volumes Manager by selecting configuration options such as batch script files which are called at various points during system startup and login, as well as registry options for services, drivers, and other parameters.
