Lenovo ServeRAID C100 Integrated SATA Controllers with
Software

The ServeRAID C100 and ServeRAID C105 have integrated SATA controllers with software RAID capabilities. They are a cost-effective way to provide reliability, performance, and fault-tolerant disk subsystem management to help safeguard your valuable data and enhance availability. Figure 1 shows a screenshot from the configuration utility for ServeRAID C100 and C105 that displays information about the controller.

Lenovo ServeRAID C100 Integrated SATA Controllers with Software

Did you know?
The ServeRAID C100 and C105 are integral function of the system planar. There is no additional hardware required. They can be enabled and disabled through the system Human Interface Infrastructure (HII) Configuration Utility, which is used to configure controllers, drive groups, and virtual drives, and to perform other configuration tasks in a pre-boot environment. Once enabled, the ServeRAID C100 and C105 take control of all devices that are connected to the planar SATA ports of the server, including the SATA optical drive, if present.

Part number information
The ServeRAID C100 and C105 are integrated SATA controllers that come standard with supported servers and cannot be ordered separately. The following table provides the ordering part numbers and feature codes for the additional options.

Withdrawn : The part numbers listed below are withdrawn from marketing.

Feature Activation Instructions

Features

The ServeRAID C100 and C105 have the following standard features:

Auto-resume on array rebuild or array reconstruction after loss of system power
Auto-resume uses non-volatile RAM (NVRAM) to save 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.
Fast initialization for quick array setup
Fast initialization quickly writes zeroes to the first and last sectors of the virtual drive. This function 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 will mirror data when an inconsistent stripe is detected for a RAID 1.
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.
Global Hot Spare support
A hot spare rebuilds data from all virtual disks within the disk group in which it is configured. ServeRAID provides the ability to define a physical disk as a hot spare to replace a failed drive. A global hot spare allows any physical drive to be designated as a hot spare for all drive groups that are defined on the controller.
Human Interface Infrastructure (HII) Configuration Utility for pre-boot array configuration and management HII Configuration Utility is a utility that allows you to configure drive groups and logical drives before installing or booting the operating system.
MegaRAID Storage Manager management software
MegaRAID Storage Manager is an easy-to-use advanced RAID management application that is used across the entire family of ServeRAID controllers. It allows you to configure, monitor, and maintain drive groups, virtual drives, and advanced features with an intuitive GUI reducing administrative efforts and simplifying troubleshooting.
