Description of ThinkSystem RAID 530 Series Internal RAID Adapters

Product Guide

The ThinkSystem RAID 530 family are entry-level 12 Gb SAS/SATA internal RAID adapters that offer a cost-effective RAID solution for small to medium business customers. These cacheless adapters support RAID levels 0/1/10/5/50 and include an extensive list of RAS and management features.

The family is comprised of three adapters:

• The ThinkSystem RAID 530-4i supports up to four internal SAS and SATA drives
• The ThinkSystem RAID 530-8i supports up to eight internal SAS and SATA drives
• The ThinkSystem RAID 530-16i supports up to 16 internal SAS and SATA drives

The ThinkSystem RAID 530-8i is shown in the following figure.

Did you know?

Along with an extensive list of enterprise RAID capabilities, the RAID 530 Series adapters offer advanced drive diagnostic technologies. In the event of a physical drive failure, the drive is placed in a shielded state and the controller starts drive diagnostics to determine if the drive is indeed failed or can be restored. This saves time, money, and server downtime associated with transient drive failures and unnecessary drive replacement.

The 530-4i adapter for use in the SN550 blade server only supports RAID 0 and RAID 1 because the server has only two drives. The 530-4i adapter for use in the SN850 blade server only supports RAID 0, 1, 5, and 10 because the server has only four drives.

The only technical difference between 7Y37A01082 and 4Y37A16225 is the included cables.

Features

The ThinkSystem RAID 530 adapters have the following standard features:

• MegaRAID FastPath SSD performance acceleration
  MegaRAID FastPath software provides high-performance I/O acceleration for SSD- based virtual drives by using a low latency I/O path to increase the maximum I/O per second (IOPS) capability of the controller. This feature boosts the performance of applications with a highly random data storage access pattern, such as transactional databases.

• Auto-resume on array rebuild or array reconstruction after the loss of system power
  Auto-resume uses non-volatile RAM (NVRAM) to save the rebuild progress during a host reboot or power failure to automatically resume from the last checkpoint. Auto-resume ensures that data integrity is maintained throughout the process. The card supports several features that can be implemented without rebooting the server. Applications, such as email and web servers, benefit from avoiding downtime during the transition.

• Online Capacity Expansion
  Online Capacity Expansion (OCE) allows the capacity of a virtual disk to be expanded by adding new physical disks or making use of unused space on existing disks, without requiring a reboot.

• Online RAID Level Migration
  Online RAID Level Migration (RLM), which is also known as logical drive migration, can migrate a virtual disk from any RAID level to any other RAID level without requiring a reboot. System availability and application functionality remain unaffected.

• Fast initialization for quick array setup
  Fast initialization quickly writes zeros to the first and last sectors of the virtual drive. This feature allows you to immediately start writing data to the virtual drive while the initialization is running in the background.

• Consistency check for background data integrity
  Consistency check verifies that all stripes in a virtual disk with a redundant RAID level are consistent. The consistency check mirrors data when an inconsistent stripe is detected for RAID 1 and re-creates the parity from the peer disks for RAID 5 or RAID 6. Consistency checks can be scheduled to take place periodically.

• Extensive online configuration options and advanced monitoring and event notification
  Management tools provide convenience for the configuration of logical volumes and alerting when errors have occurred or are about to occur.

• Patrol read for media scanning and repairing
  Patrol read is a background sentry service that proactively discovers and corrects media defects (bad sectors) that arise normally as a disk drive ages. The service issues a series of verified commands, and if a bad block is discovered, the card’s firmware uses RAID algorithms to re-create the missing data and remap the sector to a good sector. The task is interruptible based on controller activity and host operations. The firmware also provides an interface where the patrol read task can be initiated, set up for continuous operation, and terminated from a management application. Patrol read can be activated by a manual command or automatically.

• Global and dedicated hot spare with revertible hot spare support
  A hot spare rebuilds data from all virtual disks within the disk group in which it is configured. You can define a physical disk as a hot spare to replace a failed drive. Hot spares can be configured as either global or dedicated. A global hot spare allows any physical drive to be designated as a hot spare. A dedicated hot spare allows the user to assign a hot spare drive to a particular array of the same drive type.

• Drive roaming
  Drive roaming occurs when the physical disks are changed to different ports on the same controller. When the drives are placed on different channels, the controller detects the RAID configuration from the configuration data on the drives.

• MegaRAID SafeStore support for self-encrypting drive (SED) services
  MegaRAID SafeStore encryption services offer instant secure erase and local key management for self-encrypting drives. This technology represents a step forward in securing data on a disk drive from any unauthorized access or modification resulting from theft, loss, or repurposing of drives. Instant secure erase permanently removes data when repurposing or decommissioning SEDs. SafeStore local key management provides the necessary management and protection of SEDs by using a simple pass phrase, security key identifier, and security key file that can be set and applied to all SEDs that are assigned to a RAID adapter. This feature removes the complexity of managing each SED’s unique encryption key, and it essentially relieves the administrator of most of the daily tasks of securing data.

• XClarity Provisioning Manager for pre-boot array configuration and management
  Provisioning Manager is the ThinkSystem UEFI-based application that includes a RAID setup wizard to help you configure drive groups and virtual disks before installing or booting the operating system.

• XClarity Controller web interface for remote storage management
  XClarity Controller (XCC) is the systems management processor integrated into all ThinkSystem servers. The XCC web interface allows you to perform storage inventory, create and edit virtual disks, view events, import a new controller configuration, and perform firmware updates on the adapter.

FAQ’s

What tools can be used to set up raids in ThinkSystem servers?

LXPM can be used to configure RAID and disk settings, export RAID settings from and import RAID settings to response files, and collect logs for selected RAID adapter features. XCC is a next-generation management controller that replaces the baseboard management controller (BMC) for Lenovo ThinkSystem servers

What is RAID 530 8i?

The ThinkSystem RAID 530 family are entry-level 12 Gb SAS/SATA internal RAID adapters that offer a cost-effective RAID solution for small to medium business customers. These cacheless adapters support RAID levels 0/1/10/5/50 and include an extensive list of RAS and management features.

What hardware is needed for RAID?

Hardware RAID requires a RAID controller. Replace RAID controllers with a similar unit if a controller is lost. Software RAID does not use an external controller.

What is the best RAID configuration?

What is the best RAID configuration? The best RAID configuration for your storage system will depend on whether you value speed, data redundancy, or both. If you value speed most of all, choose RAID 0. If you value data redundancy most of all, remember that the following drive configurations are fault-tolerant: RAID 1, RAID 5, RAID 6, and RAID 10.

What is the purpose of a RAID adapter?

Device adapters and flash RAID adapters provide the connection between storage devices and the internal processors and memory. Device adapters and flash RAID adapters perform the RAID management and control functions of the drives that are attached to them.

Where is the RAID controller located?

A RAID controller is a card or chip located between the operating system and a storage drive (typically a hard drive).

Does the RAID controller store data?

A RAID controller might be based on hardware or software. Based on how you build a RAID, it may boost the performance of your computer and provide users with a singular ‘drive’ that can store as much data as the entire set of drives together.

Why does a RAID controller need a battery?

If there is a power outage, the controller battery preserves data that is in the volatile cache memory (SRAM) but not yet written to disk.

How long do RAID drives last?

they can run smoothly for three to five years. This means any HDD, whether it’s external or inside of a system. Asking about the longevity of an external enclosure—a metal or plastic housing designed to cover and protect a disk drive from damage—is a different question altogether.

How long does it take for RAID to be safe?

After applying Raid® spray products such as Raid® Mosquito and Fly Killer, give the treated room or area some air! Exit the treated area and keep the room closed for 15 minutes. Then thoroughly ventilate before re-entry. Read the product label for more detailed instructions.

Does RAID work over USB?

A USB flash drive can make a surprisingly versatile and reasonably fast Striped RAID array (RAID 0). All that’s needed is a powered USB hub with enough ports to accommodate the flash drives you’re going to connect.

Do internal Wi-Fi adapters go bad?

Also known as a Wi-Fi card, it’s a small hardware component that provides wireless networking capabilities.
