These features are described as follows:


RAID 6 Upgrade (90Y4410)
Adds support for RAID 6 and RAID 60. This is a Feature on Demand license.



Performance Upgrade (90Y4412)
The Performance Upgrade for IBM Flex System (implemented using the LSI MegaRAID FastPath
software) provides high-performance I/O acceleration for SSD-based virtual drives by using an
extremely 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. Part number 90Y4412 is a Feature on Demand
license.



SSD Caching Enabler for traditional hard drives (90Y4447)
The SSD Caching Enabler for IBM Flex System (implemented using the LSI MegaRAID CacheCade
Pro 2.0) is designed to accelerate the performance of hard disk drive (HDD) arrays with only an
incremental investment in solid-state drive (SSD) technology. The feature enables the SSDs to be
configured as a dedicated cache to help maximize the I/O performance for transaction-intensive
applications, such as databases and web serving. The feature tracks data storage access patterns
and identifies the most frequently accessed data. The hot data is then automatically stored on the
SSDs that are assigned as a dedicated cache pool on the ServeRAID controller. Part number
90Y4447 is a Feature on Demand license. This feature requires at least one SSD drive be installed.

Supported configurations
With the ServeRAID M5115, the compute node can support contain up to eight 1.8-inch solid-state drives.
The M5115 attaches to the I/O adapter 1 connector and can be attached even if the Compute Node Fabric
Connector is installed (used to route the embedded Ethernet controller to chassis bays 1 and 2). The
ServeRAID M5115 cannot be installed if an adapter is installed in I/O adapter slot 1.
The following figure shows where the ServeRAID M5115 is installed in an IBM Flex System compute node
(x240 is shown as an example).

Figure 2. ServeRAID M5115 installed in the x240 Compute Node
The ServeRAID M5115 supports combinations of 2.5-inch drives and 1.8-inch solid state drives:





Up to two 2.5-inch drives only
Up to four 1.8-inch drives only
Up to two 2.5-inch drives, plus up to four 1.8-inch solid state drives
Up to eight 1.8-inch solid state drives

The ServeRAID M5115 provides an advanced RAID controller supporting RAID 0, 1, 10, 5, 50, and,
optionally, 6 and 60. It includes 1 GB of cache, which can be backed up to flash memory when attached to
the supercapacitor included with the optional ServeRAID M5100 Series Enablement Kit (90Y4342).

ServeRAID M5115 SAS/SATA Controller for IBM Flex System

5
At least one hardware kit is required with the ServeRAID M5115 controller, and there are three hardware
kits that are supported that enable specific drive support:
ServeRAID M5100 Series Enablement Kit for IBM Flex System x240 (90Y4342) or IBM Flex
System x220 (90Y4424) or IBM Flex System x440 (46C9030) enables support for up to two 2.5-inch
HDDs or SSDs in the hot-swap bays in the front of the server. It includes a CacheVault unit, which
enables MegaRAID CacheVault flash cache protection. This enablement kit replaces the standard
two-bay backplane (which is attached through the planar to an onboard controller) with a new
backplane that attaches to an included flex cable to the M5115 controller. It also includes an air
baffle, which also serves as an attachment for the CacheVault unit.



MegaRAID CacheVault flash cache protection uses NAND flash memory powered by a
supercapacitor to protect data stored in the controller cache. This module eliminates the need for a
lithium-ion battery commonly used to protect DRAM cache memory on PCI RAID controllers. To avoid
the possibility of data loss or corruption during a power or server failure, CacheVault technology
transfers the contents of the DRAM cache to NAND flash memory using power from the
supercapacitor. After the power is restored to the RAID controller, the saved data is transferred from
the NAND flash back to the DRAM cache, which can then be flushed to disk.
Tip: The Enablement Kit is only required if 2.5-inch drives are used. If you plan to install four or eight
1.8-inch SSDs only, then this kit is not required.


ServeRAID M5100 Series IBM Flex System Flash Kit for x240 (90Y4341) or IBM Flex System
x220 (90Y4425) or IBM Flex System x440 (46C9031) enables support for up to four 1.8-inch SSDs.
This kit replaces the standard two-bay backplane with a four-bay SSD backplane that attaches to an
included flex cable to the M5115 controller. Because only SSDs are supported, a CacheVault unit is
not required, and therefore this kit does not have a supercap.



ServeRAID M5100 Series SSD Expansion Kit for IBM Flex System x240 (90Y4391) or IBM Flex
System x220 (90Y4426) or IBM Flex System x440 (46C9032) enables support for up to four internal
1.8-inch SSDs. This kit includes two air baffles which can attach two 1.8-inch SSD attachment
locations and Flex cables for attachment to up to four 1.8-inch SSDs.

The following table shows the kits required for each combination of drives. For example, if you plan to
install eight 1.8-inch SSDs, then you need the M5115 controller, the Flash kit, and the SSD Expansion kit.

Supported upgrade features Part number Feature code Description 90Y4410 A2Y1 ServeRAID M5100 Series RAID 6 Upgrade for IBM Flex System 90Y4412 A2Y2 ServeRAID M5100 Series Performance Upgrade for IBM Flex System (MegaRAID FastPath) 90Y4447 A36G ServeRAID M5100 Series SSD Caching Enabler for IBM Flex System (MegaRAID CacheCade Pro 2.0) ServeRAID M5115 SAS/SATA Controller for IBM Flex System 3
  • 4. These features are described as follows:  RAID 6 Upgrade (90Y4410) Adds support for RAID 6 and RAID 60. This is a Feature on Demand license.  Performance Upgrade (90Y4412) The Performance Upgrade for IBM Flex System (implemented using the LSI MegaRAID FastPath software) provides high-performance I/O acceleration for SSD-based virtual drives by using an extremely 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. Part number 90Y4412 is a Feature on Demand license.  SSD Caching Enabler for traditional hard drives (90Y4447) The SSD Caching Enabler for IBM Flex System (implemented using the LSI MegaRAID CacheCade Pro 2.0) is designed to accelerate the performance of hard disk drive (HDD) arrays with only an incremental investment in solid-state drive (SSD) technology. The feature enables the SSDs to be configured as a dedicated cache to help maximize the I/O performance for transaction-intensive applications, such as databases and web serving. The feature tracks data storage access patterns and identifies the most frequently accessed data. The hot data is then automatically stored on the SSDs that are assigned as a dedicated cache pool on the ServeRAID controller. Part number 90Y4447 is a Feature on Demand license. This feature requires at least one SSD drive be installed. Supported servers The following table lists the IBM Flex System compute nodes that support the ServeRAID M5115 SAS/SATA Controller. Table 2. Supported servers Description Part number ServeRAID M5115 SAS/SATA Controller 90Y4390 Y N Y Y N N N N See IBM ServerProven® at the following web address for the latest information about the expansion cards that are supported by each blade server type: http://ibm.com/servers/eserver/serverproven/compat/us/ ServeRAID M5115 SAS/SATA Controller for IBM Flex System 4
  • 5. Supported configurations With the ServeRAID M5115, the compute node can support contain up to eight 1.8-inch solid-state drives. The M5115 attaches to the I/O adapter 1 connector and can be attached even if the Compute Node Fabric Connector is installed (used to route the embedded Ethernet controller to chassis bays 1 and 2). The ServeRAID M5115 cannot be installed if an adapter is installed in I/O adapter slot 1. The following figure shows where the ServeRAID M5115 is installed in an IBM Flex System compute node (x240 is shown as an example). Figure 2. ServeRAID M5115 installed in the x240 Compute Node The ServeRAID M5115 supports combinations of 2.5-inch drives and 1.8-inch solid state drives:     Up to two 2.5-inch drives only Up to four 1.8-inch drives only Up to two 2.5-inch drives, plus up to four 1.8-inch solid state drives Up to eight 1.8-inch solid state drives The ServeRAID M5115 provides an advanced RAID controller supporting RAID 0, 1, 10, 5, 50, and, optionally, 6 and 60. It includes 1 GB of cache, which can be backed up to flash memory when attached to the supercapacitor included with the optional ServeRAID M5100 Series Enablement Kit (90Y4342). ServeRAID M5115 SAS/SATA Controller for IBM Flex System 5
  • 6. At least one hardware kit is required with the ServeRAID M5115 controller, and there are three hardware kits that are supported that enable specific drive support: ServeRAID M5100 Series Enablement Kit for IBM Flex System x240 (90Y4342) or IBM Flex System x220 (90Y4424) or IBM Flex System x440 (46C9030) enables support for up to two 2.5-inch HDDs or SSDs in the hot-swap bays in the front of the server. It includes a CacheVault unit, which enables MegaRAID CacheVault flash cache protection. This enablement kit replaces the standard two-bay backplane (which is attached through the planar to an onboard controller) with a new backplane that attaches to an included flex cable to the M5115 controller. It also includes an air baffle, which also serves as an attachment for the CacheVault unit.  MegaRAID CacheVault flash cache protection uses NAND flash memory powered by a supercapacitor to protect data stored in the controller cache. This module eliminates the need for a lithium-ion battery commonly used to protect DRAM cache memory on PCI RAID controllers. To avoid the possibility of data loss or corruption during a power or server failure, CacheVault technology transfers the contents of the DRAM cache to NAND flash memory using power from the supercapacitor. After the power is restored to the RAID controller, the saved data is transferred from the NAND flash back to the DRAM cache, which can then be flushed to disk. Tip: The Enablement Kit is only required if 2.5-inch drives are used. If you plan to install four or eight 1.8-inch SSDs only, then this kit is not required.  ServeRAID M5100 Series IBM Flex System Flash Kit for x240 (90Y4341) or IBM Flex System x220 (90Y4425) or IBM Flex System x440 (46C9031) enables support for up to four 1.8-inch SSDs. This kit replaces the standard two-bay backplane with a four-bay SSD backplane that attaches to an included flex cable to the M5115 controller. Because only SSDs are supported, a CacheVault unit is not required, and therefore this kit does not have a supercap.  ServeRAID M5100 Series SSD Expansion Kit for IBM Flex System x240 (90Y4391) or IBM Flex System x220 (90Y4426) or IBM Flex System x440 (46C9032) enables support for up to four internal 1.8-inch SSDs. This kit includes two air baffles which can attach two 1.8-inch SSD attachment locations and Flex cables for attachment to up to four 1.8-inch SSDs. The following table shows the kits required for each combination of drives. For example, if you plan to install eight 1.8-inch SSDs, then you need the M5115 controller, the Flash kit, and the SSD Expansion kit. Table 3.
