5. enclosures With redundant paths to the same port of a device if one path fails another path can be used to communicate between the controller and the drive Using multiple paths with load balancing instead of a single path can increase reliability through redundancy e WebBIOS configuration utility for pre boot array configuration and management WebBIOS is a utility that is built into the ServeRAID controller that allows you to configure drive groups and logical drives before installing or booting the operating system e MegaRAID Storage Manager management software MegaRAID Storage Manager is an easy to use advanced RAID management application that is used across the entire family of ServeRAID M controllers It allows you to configure monitor and maintain drive groups virtual drives and advanced features with an intuitive GUI reducing administrative efforts and simplifying troubleshooting The following features are optional and require the respective upgrade to be purchased e Support for RAID levels 6 and 60 with M5100 Series RAID 6 Upgrade 81Y4546 e 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 This technology represents a significant step forward in securing data on a disk drive from any unauthorized access or modification resulting from theft loss or repurposing of drives Instant secure
6. erase permanently removes data when repurposing or decommissioning SEDs SafeStore local key management provides the necessary management and protection of SEDs using a simple pass phrase security key identifier and security key file that can be set and applied to all SEDs assigned to a ServeRAID adapter This feature removes the complexity of managing each SED s unique encryption key and it essentially relieves the administrator of most of the daily tasks of securing data The SafeStore is part of any RAID 5 upgrade that is available 81Y4544 81Y4484 81Y4487 or 81Y4559 e MegaRAID CacheVault flash cache protection 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 CacheVault flash module CVFM using power from the CacheVault power module CVPM After the power is restored to the RAID controller CacheVault technology transfers the contents of the NAND flash back to the DRAM which will eventually be flushed to disk e MegaRAID FastPath SSD performance acceleration MegaRAID FastPath software provides high performance I O acceleration for SSD based virtual drives by
