Models
Factory-integrated models of the ThinkAgile VX Series Appliances are configured by using the Lenovo Data Center Solution Configurator (DCSC), http://dcsc.lenovo.com.
During the configuration process, you are selecting one of the Configure-to-Order (CTO) base models first, and then you are adding components (processors, memory, drives, and network adapters) to the selected model.
Note: You are required to engage a Lenovo representative in the project that includes the ThinkAgile VX Series Appliances. ThinkAgile VX certified nodes do not have this requirement.
The following table lists the CTO base models.

Comparison with the ThinkSystem SR650 V2
The ThinkAgile VX3530-G, VX5530 and VX7530 Appliances, VX7531 Certified Node and VX650 V2-DPU Certified Node are based on the ThinkSystem SR650 V2 server, however there are key differences:
- No onboard SATA controller support
- No RAID adapter support
- No VROC RAID support
- No SATA HDDs
- No SED drive support
- No Fibre Channel support
- No InfiniBand support
- Drives are categorized as Cache or Capacity drives and are formed as disk groups (up to 5 disk groups)

The server also supports configurations without any drive bays if desired.
The three drive bay zones are as follows:
- Front:
- Up to 12x 3.5-inch hot-swap bays, or
- Up to 24x 2.5-inch hot-swap bays
- Middle:
- 4x 3.5-inch hot-swap bays, or
- 8x 2.5-inch hot-swap bays
- Rear:
- Up to 4x 3.5-inch hot-swap bays, or
- Up to 8x 2.5-inch hot-swap bays
- Also supports 2x 7mm hot-swap drives bays
All drives are hot-swap and are accessible from the front, from the rear, or from drive bays that are located in the middle of the server (accessible when you remove the top cover of the server).
The server also supports one or two M.2 drives, installed in an M.2 adapter internal to the server.

Internal drive options
This section lists the supported drives:
Configuration Note:
- VMware will no longer support higher capacity drives greater than 8TB
- Express Storage Architecture (ESA) supports a minimum of 4 drives and a maximum of 24 drives. Please reference the vSAN ESA ReadyNode Hardware Guidance for additional requirements.
- VMware vSAN certification for Generic NVMe drives: The drives are listed in the VMware Compatibility Guide (VCG) under the drive vendor company name instead of Lenovo. To check a drive for vSAN certification, search the VCG using the Supplier part number. Part numbers can be found using the Product Guide for the corresponding Drive Family on Lenovo Press https://lenovopress.lenovo.com/servers/options/drives#sort=last_update.

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 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.
Warranty and Support
The VX3530-G, VX5530, VX7530, VX7531 and VX650 V2-DPU have a 3-year warranty based on the machine type:
- 7Z63 - 3 year warranty
The ThinkAgile VX Series Appliances can be configured with a three- or five-year hardware warranty with 24x7 ThinkAgile Advantage Single Point of Support (Lenovo server hardware and VMware software; requires an active software support contract purchased either from VMware or Lenovo) and various levels of coverage with a well-defined scope of services, including service hours, response time, term of service, and service agreement terms and conditions.
The Lenovo local support centers perform problem determination and resolution for hardware-related issues and escalate to VMware, on behalf of the customer, for software-related problem determination. VMware will contact the customer and will own the software-related problem resolution until closure.
The standard warranty terms are customer-replaceable unit (CRU) and onsite (for field-replaceable units FRUs only) with standard call center support during normal business hours and 9x5 Next Business Day Parts Delivered.
Lenovo’s additional support services provide a sophisticated, unified support structure for your data center, with an experience consistently ranked number one in customer satisfaction worldwide. Available offerings include:

In the unlikely event of a drive failure, you retain possession of your drive while Lenovo replaces the failed drive part. Your data stays safely on your premises, in your hands. The YourDrive YourData service can be purchased in convenient bundles and is optional with Foundation Service. It is bundled with Essential Service and Advanced Service.
- Health Check
Having a trusted partner who can perform regular and detailed health checks is central to maintaining efficiency and ensuring that your systems and business are always running at their best. Health Check supports Lenovo-branded server, storage, and networking devices, as well as select Lenovo-supported products from other vendors that are sold by Lenovo or a Lenovo-Authorized Reseller.
Examples of region-specific warranty terms are second or longer business day parts delivery or parts-only base warranty.
If warranty terms and conditions include onsite labor for repair or replacement of parts, Lenovo will dispatch a service technician to the customer site to perform the replacement. 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.
Lenovo Service offerings are region-specific. Not all preconfigured support and upgrade options are available in every region. For information about Lenovo service upgrade offerings that are available in your region, refer to the following resources:
