IBM Redbooks Product Guide

The ServeRAID M1115 SAS/SATA Controller for IBM® System x® is a part of the IBM ServeRAID M

Series family that offers a complete server storage solution consisting of RAID controllers, cache/flash

modules, energy packs, and software feature upgrades in an ultra-flexible offerings structure. The M1115

offers a low-cost RAID 0/1/10 solution that can be upgraded to a cacheless RAID 5 with a

Features-on-Demand license upgrade.

Figure 1 shows the ServeRAID M1115 Controller.

Did you know

The ServeRAID M1115 SAS/SATA Controller is an entry-level internal data storage solution that provides

hardware RAID capabilities and advanced features, such as online capacity expansion and RAID-level

migration. The optional RAID 5 upgrade and support for self-encrypting drives no longer require a

hardware key, because the upgrade functionality is implemented through Features-on-Demand (FoD)

software licenses. With increased demand for performance and advanced features, the M1115 provides a

seamless migration path to the full-featured RAID controllers, such as the ServeRAID M5110. The

information about existing arrays can be recognized and imported into the new controller without requiring

any reconfiguration.

 Consistency check for background data integrity Consistency check verifies that all stripes in a virtual disk with a redundant RAID level are consistent. The consistency check will mirror data when an inconsistent stripe is detected for a RAID 1 and will recreate the parity from the peer disks in the case of a RAID 5. Consistency checks can be scheduled to take place periodically.

The following features are optional and require the purchase of an additional upgrade:  RAID 5, 50 support with Zero Cache/RAID 5 Upgrade (81Y4542)  MegaRAID SafeStore support for self-encrypting drive (SED) services MegaRAID SafeStore encryption services offer instant secure erase and local key management for self-encrypting drives. Instant secure erase permanently removes data when repurposing or decommissioning SEDs.

Feature upgrade matrix The ServeRAID M1115 SAS/SATA Controller provides support for RAID 0, 1, and 10 as standard, ready to use or "out-of-the-box" capabilities. An optional feature upgrade is available to expand standard capabilities with RAID 5, 50 and self-encrypting drives. This Feature-on-Demand (FoD) upgrade is a software license. The following table lists the available upgrade and its capabilities. Table 2.
