Lenovo ThinkSystem RAID 930 Series Internal RAID Adapters
Lenovo's every generations of Raid card products with the LSI/Avago chips as following:
Lenovo server has four product lines including Wanquan, ThinkServer, System x and ThinkSystem and more than ten generations of products. The SAS RAID cards of each generation of products are crossed with each other. Here is a data sorting of SAS RAID cards using LSI/Avago chips.
ause Analysis:
The LSI array card has the following working modes:
MR-MegaRAID mode:
using RoC chip hardware to realize RAID function, common array cards with cache work in this mode, such as ServeRAID M5210, RAID720ix, 9260-8i, etc.;
iMR-Integrated MegaRAID mode:
through software (driver) to achieve advanced RAID functions (such as RAID5), common array cards without cache work in this mode, such as ServeRAID M1215 and ServeRAID M5210, 9240-8i with the cache module removed;
IR-Integrated RAID mode:
SAS cards that can only provide the simplest RAID function (RAID0/1/1E) work in this mode, such as ServeRAID H1110, etc.;
I/T-Initiator and Target mode:
namely pass-through mode, without any RAID function, SAS HBA card works in this mode, such as N2215, N2225, etc.
