Configuration notes:
The support of RAID-1 with the M.2 drives requires an additional RAID adapter that is installed in PCIe slot 2:
RAID support for 7MM/M.2 SATA drives requires a RAID 5350-8i adapter (feature BT7N) for Boot only RAID support for 7MM/M.2 NVMe or SATA drives requires a RAID 540-8i adapter (feature BT7P) for Boot Only
The RAID adapter used for M.2 drive support cannot be configured for use with other drive bays for VSAN data

7mm Configuration notes:
The use of the 7mm rear drive bays has the following rules:
The 7mm drive bays support either SATA drives or NVMe drives but not both. You specify SATA or NVMe in the configurator using feature codes BTTV (SATA) or BTTW (NVMe).
7mm rear drive bays occupy slot 3; slots 1 and 2 are available and slot 2 is a low profile slot. Slot 3 is not available.
Select feature code BS7A in the configurator to enable RAID
The support of RAID-1 with the 7mm drives requires an additional RAID adapter that is installed in PCIe slot 2:
RAID support for 7mm SATA drives requires a RAID 5350-8i adapter (feature BT7N) RAID support for 7mm NVMe drives requires a RAID 540-8i adapter operating in Tri-Mode (feature BT7P)
The RAID adapter used for 7mm drive support cannot be configured for use with other drive bays (not even with M.2)
M.2 RAID and 7mm RAID are mutually exclusive: they are not supported together in the same configuration

Software
VMware vSAN, vSphere, and vCenter Server software are required for ThinkAgile VX Series Integrated Systems and Certified Nodes. For Integrated Systems, you are required to purchase VMware vSAN licenses for VX Series from Lenovo. Customers have the option to transfer the license after it has initially landed on Lenovo VX Integrated System. For Certified Nodes, you can purchase the vSAN licenses from Lenovo or from VMware, or you can use your existing licenses. For vSphere and vCenter Server, you can use the existing VMware software licenses and active support contracts, or you can purchase software licenses and support from Lenovo or VMware.

Lenovo ThinkAgile VX635 V3 1U Integrated Systems and Certified Nodes (AMD EPYC 9004)

28

Lenovo offers the following VMware software license and support options for ThinkAgile VX Series systems:
VMware vSAN License and Subscription VMware vSphere License and Subscription VMware HCI Kit License and Subscription VMware Horizon License and Subscription VMware Cloud Foundation License and Subscription VMware vCenter Server License and Subscription
For details and ordering information, see the VMware Software Solution Product Guide: https://lenovopress.com/lp1265-vmware-software-solution-product-guide
Configuration notes:
The selection of vSAN licenses is required: Standalone licenses, HCI bundle licenses, VDI solution licenses, or VCF licenses. VMware software licenses that are available for selection include 1-year, 3-year, or 5-year software support (matches the duration of the selected solution-level warranty period). The quantity of processor-based licenses is derived by the configuration tool based on the number of processors selected. The quantity of VM-based licenses is specified based on VM requirements. The quantity of CCU-based licenses is specified based on the concurrent user requirements.
ThinkAgile VX Deployer Tool
The ThinkAgile VX Deployer tool is a web-based UI used to simplify and automate the deployment of Lenovo ThinkAgile VX systems within VMware vSAN clusters. The ThinkAgile VX Deployer tool can install and configure the following software:
VMware ESXi
VMware ESXi is a bare-metal hypervisor that the ThinkAgile VX Deployer tool installs on the hardware of each host in the cluster. ESXi translates requests between the physical and virtual resources, making virtualization possible.
VMware vCenter Server
VMware vCenter Server is a management console that provides a centralized platform for controlling VMware vSphere environments. One service that runs in VMware vCenter Server is VMware vLCM, which provides centralized and simplified management to install software, maintain that software through updates and upgrades, and decommission it.
Lenovo® XClarity Integrator
Lenovo XClarity Integrator is the hardware support manager (HSM) used by vCenter for firmware upgrades. Lenovo XClarity Integrator fully integrates with VMware vLCM to give the VMware vCenter Server software visibility into Lenovo hardware. The interface for the ThinkAgile VX Deployer tool is a straightforward webbased installation wizard with three top-level options:
Install a new cluster (using the wizard). Add nodes to an existing cluster (using the wizard). Use a configuration file to install a new cluster or add nodes to an existing cluster.

Onsite labor under base warranty is limited to labor for replacement of parts that have been determined to be field-replaceable units (FRUs). Parts that are determined to be customer- replaceable units (CRUs) do not include onsite labor under base warranty.
If warranty terms include parts-only base warranty, Lenovo is responsible for delivering only replacement parts that are under base warranty (including FRUs) that will be sent to a requested location for self-service. Parts-only service does not include a service technician being dispatched onsite. Parts must be changed at customer’s own cost and labor and defective parts must be returned following the instructions supplied with the spare parts.
