1 Getting started The Lenovo Storage Management Console (also called SMC) is a web-based application for configuring, monitoring, and managing the storage system. It is a web-based interface (WBI). Each controller module in the storage system contains a web server, which is accessed when you sign in - Lenovo Storage E1012 | (English) Storage Manager Guide - Lenovo Storage S3200, S - Page 11
border. • If you are signed in to the SMC and the controller you are accessing goes offline, the system informs you that the system is unavailable or that communication has been lost. After the controller comes back online, close and reopen the browser and start a new SMC - Lenovo Storage E1012 | (English) Storage Manager Guide - Lenovo Storage S3200, S - Page 12

see "About SSD read cache" (page 20). About RAID levels The RAID controllers enable you to set up and manage disk groups, the storage for which may be spread across multiple disks. This is accomplished through firmware resident in the RAID controller. RAID refers to disk groups in which part of the - Lenovo Storage E1012 | (English) Storage Manager Guide - Lenovo Storage S3200, S - Page 18

is enabled. You can enable and disable the write-back cache for each volume. By default, volume write-back cache is enabled. Because controller cache is backed by supercapacitor technology, if the system loses power, data is not lost. For most applications, this is the preferred setting.

also kept in spinning disks. Readcache contents are lost when a controller restart or failover occurs. Taken together, these attributes have several advantages with only a small number of disks, and add more as physical storage needs grow.
