Models

Factory-integrated models of the integrated systems and certified nodes are configured by using the Lenovo Data Center Solution Configurator (DCSC), http://dcsc.lenovo.com

To ensure that the controlled GPUs and accelerators are only sold in the supported markets, the following configure-to-order base machine-type models (CTO MTMs) are selectable in DCSC:

  • Standard Open models are available in all markets worldwide. Controlled GPUs cannot be configured using these models. These are CTO1WW models.
  • GPU Controlled models are used to order any of the controlled GPUs and accelerators. Controlled models are not available in affected markets. If you start from a controlled model, your configuration must include a controlled GPUs.

Note:

  • For all models listed in the GPU Controlled models column, one of the controlled GPUs must be selected in the DCSC configurator. DCSC will display an error if you configuration does not include one of the controlled GPUs.
  • It is highly recommended to engage a Lenovo representative early in a project that includes the ThinkAgile VX Series Integrated Systems and Certified Nodes

The following table lists the base CTO models.

Internal storage

The VX630 V3 support 4x 3.5-inch or 12x 2.5-inch drive bays, depending on the selected chassis and backplane configuration.

  • Front drive bays:
    • 12x 2.5-inch SAS/SATA hot-swap bays
    • 12x 2.5-inch NVMe hot-swap bays
  • Rear drive bays
    • 4x 3.5-inch SAS/SATA hot-swap bays
    • 4x 3.5-inch NVMe hot-swap bays
    • Also supports 2x 7mm hot-swap drives bays

The server also supports two M.2 drives, installed in an M.2 adapter internal to the server for boot drives. These are an alternative to the 7mm hot-swap drives.

The choice of backplanes supported varies by system, as listed in the following table.

Configuration Note:

  • VMware will no longer support higher capacity hard drives greater than 8TB
  • Express Storage Architecture (ESA) supports a minimum of 2 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

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 web-based 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.

Prowess testing included all three of these options, plus some key lifecycle-management features in VMware vCenter Server. To view the results of our testing please use the link https://www.lenovo.com/content/dam/lenovo/dcg/global/en/products/software-defined-infrastructure/Prowess_Measuring_the_Ease_of_Deployment_of_ThinkAgile_VX.pdf

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:
