The Lenovo Storage V5030F functional capabilities that are described in this product guide are based on the Spectrum Virtualize for Lenovo Storage V5030 Software version 7.7.1.

The following functions are included with every Lenovo Storage V5030F:

• RAID levels 0, 1, 5, 6, and 10

  Provides the flexibility to choose the level of data protection that is required.

• Distributed RAID 5 and 6 for internal storage
  Helps improve performance and availability with significantly faster rebuild time by allowing data to be distributed across more physical drives that are used simultaneously.
• Dual-system clustering

  Lenovo Storage V5030F systems can be clustered to help deliver greater performance, bandwidth, and scalability. A Lenovo Storage V5030F clustered system can contain two Lenovo Storage V5030F systems and up to 1,008 drives.

• HyperSwap
  Provides dual-site, active-active access to a volume for high availability and disaster recovery configurations. With active-active relationships between the volume copies at each site, HyperSwap configurations can be used to maintain access to data on the system when site-wide failures or outages occur, using a flexible choice of host multipathing drivers.

  Note: HyperSwap feature requires a Remote Mirroring license and a third site to host an FC- or IP-based quorum device for an automatic tie-break in the event of a potential link failure between the two main sites.

• Virtualization of internal storage

  Enables rapid, flexible provisioning and simple configuration changes.

• Thin provisioning

  Optimizes efficiency by allocating drive storage space in a flexible manner among multiple applications that is based on the minimum space that is required by each application at any time. With thin provisioning, applications use only the space they are actually using (not the total space that was allocated to them) which allows clients to purchase storage they need today and add storage as application requirements grow.

• One-way data migration

  Enables easy and nondisruptive moves of volumes from another storage system onto the Lenovo Storage V5030F storage system by using FC or SAS connectivity.

• Embedded GUI

  Intuitive, web-based next-generation GUI for easy system set up and management.

The Lenovo Storage V5030F storage capabilities can be expanded with optional licensed functions. Each optional Lenovo Storage V5030F software license is required for each control enclosure, expansion enclosure, and externally virtualized enclosures.

The following optional licensed functions are available:

• Easy Tier

  Easy Tier provides a mechanism to seamlessly migrate frequently accessed data between three tiers of storage (Flash drives, SAS, NL SAS). This migration can be to different tiers of internal drives or to external storage systems that are virtualized by Lenovo Storage V5030F.

• FlashCopy

  Enables creation of copies of data for backup, parallel processing, testing, and development and have the copies available almost immediately. Lenovo Storage V5030F supports up to 2,048 FlashCopy targets per single system and up to 4,096 FlashCopy targets per cluster.

• Real-time Compression

  Real-time Compression enables storing up to five times as much data in the same physical disk space by compressing data as much as 80% (based on lab measurements). It is designed to be used with active primary data, such as production databases and email systems, which dramatically expands the range of candidate data that can benefit from compression. Real-time Compression operates immediately as data is written to disk, meaning that no space is wasted storing uncompressed data awaiting post-processing.

• Encryption

  This feature provides encryption for data at rest for enhanced data security. Encryption is performed by the Lenovo Storage V5030F control enclosure for data that is stored within the Lenovo Storage V5030F system (the control enclosure and all attached expansion enclosures) and externally virtualized storage capacities. Encryption feature does not require self-encrypting drives (SEDs); it works with traditional drives. Encryption is enabled on the entire Lenovo Storage V5030F system (the control enclosure and all attached expansion enclosures) and externally virtualized storage under its control.

• Remote mirroring

  The remote mirroring feature provides storage system-based data replication by using synchronous or asynchronous data transfers over IP, FC, or FCoE communication links:

  The remote mirroring option must be acquired (or licensed) for the primary (local) and secondary (remote) systems. If the Lenovo Storage V5030F is mirrored to another system, the other system must have the appropriate and applicable license for remote mirroring.

  For ultimate flexibility, Lenovo Storage V5030F remote mirroring interoperates with any Lenovo Storage V Series, Storwize for Lenovo, or IBM Storwize family system, including Storwize V3700, Storwize V7000, Storwize V5000, and SAN Volume Controller.

  • Metro Mirror maintains a fully synchronized copy at metropolitan distances (up to 300 km).
  • Global Mirror operates asynchronously and helps maintain a copy at much greater distances (up to 8000 km).

    Both functions support VMware Site Recovery Manager for disaster recovery.

• External Virtualization

  This feature helps consolidate storage systems from various vendors that are connected into single FC networking. Storage administrator can manage and provision storage to applications from a single user interface and use a common set of advanced functions across all the storage systems under the control of the Lenovo Storage V5030F.

The following table lists ordering information for optional software features for the Lenovo Storage V5030F enclosures. Each Lenovo Storage V5030F enclosure (either control or expansion) requires a separate entitlement license; the total quantity of optional software feature licenses being acquired should be the same as the total number of the Lenovo Storage V5030F enclosures in the system or cluster.

* The bundle option includes Easy Tier, FlashCopy, Remote Mirror, and Compression licenses.

The following tables list ordering information for optional external virtualization software features for the Lenovo Storage V5030F. One license is required for each storage enclosure that is attached to, and externally managed by, the Lenovo Storage V5030F.

Note: A storage enclosure that is externally managed by the Lenovo Storage V5030F is defined as an independently powered, channel-attached device that stores data on magnetic disks or SSDs, such as disk controllers and their respective expansion units, each of which constitutes separate enclosures. Therefore, an enclosure can be the main controller housing disk or SSDs, or the expansion chassis that houses extra disk or SSDs for the purpose of expanding the total capacity of the storage system.
