Management and Monitoring
The 01KN509 Lenovo SATA/SAS 12GB/S PCI-E 3.0 X8 Storage Controller (Raid) for Thinksystem offers a variety of management and monitoring options to help users effectively manage and monitor their storage arrays.
One of the key management features is the support for RAID levels 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60, which allows users to configure their storage arrays for optimal performance and data protection. The controller also supports online RAID level migration and expansion, making it easy to upgrade or expand the storage array as needed.
In terms of monitoring, the controller supports the use of the Lenovo XClarity Administrator management software, which provides a comprehensive view of the storage array and allows for easy monitoring of storage capacity, health status, and performance. The software also offers alerting and reporting capabilities, allowing users to stay informed of any potential issues with the storage array.

Additionally, it supports various RAID levels, including 0, 1, 5, 6, and 10, which enables data protection and improves performance. It also supports online RAID level migration, which allows for changing RAID levels without data loss.
It's worth noting that the 01KN509 storage controller requires a PCI-E 3.0 slot to function properly, so it may not be compatible with older server platforms that only have PCI-E 2.0 slots. Additionally, it supports both SAS and SATA hard drives and solid-state drives, so it's important to ensure that the storage devices being used are compatible with the controller.
