ThinkSystem DE4000H Network Storage
Product Role and Benefits
1.Dual active controller configuration: Provides high availability and performance, with each controller having 8GB or 32GB of memory, for a total system of 16GB or 64GB.
2.Dynamic Disk Pooling (DDP) technology: improves performance and data protection, supports fast rebuilding and distribution of spare capacity, simplifies traditional RAID management.
3.Full Flash Array (AFA) capability: meets the demand for higher speed storage, providing higher IOPS and bandwidth while reducing power consumption and total cost of ownership.
4.SSD Read Cache: Accelerating the performance of read intensive workloads.
5.Thin supply: Optimizing DDP efficiency by allocating storage space based on the minimum space required by each application at any given time.
6.Data Encryption: Use optional FIPS 140-2 Level 2 drivers and embedded or external key management servers to provide static encryption of data.
7.Automatic load balancing: Automatically balances I/O traffic between two controllers.
8.Data Assurance: Ensure the integrity of data within the storage system (from host ports to drives).
9.Dynamic Volume and Capacity Expansion: Allow for expanding the capacity of a volume by adding new physical drives or utilizing unused space on existing drives.
10.calability: Supports multiple expansion cabinets and can be expanded to up to 192 drives to meet growing storage capacity and performance requirements.
11.High system and data availability: adopting technologies such as dual active controller modules, mirrored data caching, dual port SAS HDD and SSD, redundant hardware components, etc.
12.Security: Provides driver level encryption and local key management to ensure data security.

Product Operation Guide
1.Hardware installation: Firstly, it is necessary to install the hardware components according to the provided installation manual, including moving the storage array to its permanent location, installing the hardware, and connecting the power supply
2.Initialize storage: Connect controller A port (P1) to the Ethernet port of the laptop using an Ethernet cable, and configure the IP address and subnet mask. Enter the IP address of the storage array in the browser for access, and set a username and password
3.Configure management port IP addresses: Use Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) or static IP addresses to assign IP addresses to the management ports of the storage array. This allows communication between the management workstation and the storage array
4.Set up the host system: Ensure that the host server operating system and multipath software support connection to DE series storage arrays. For Windows and VMware environments, it is necessary to install the corresponding drivers and firmware
5.Using ThinkSystem System Manager: Access ThinkSystem System Manager through the web interface to configure the system. This includes verifying hardware, creating storage pools, configuring data protection policies, etc
6.Create storage volume: Create a volume on the storage array for use by the host. This can be done in System Manager or using the Command Line Interface (CLI)
7.Configure data protection: Utilize data protection features such as snapshots, volume replicas, and remote mirrors to ensure data security and business continuity
8.Contact technical support: If you encounter any problems, you can contact Lenovo's technical support team for assistance. For contact information, you can visit Lenovo's support website
Please note that the specific operating steps may vary depending on the specific model and configuration of the system, so it is recommended to refer to the official documentation and user manual provided by Lenovo for operation.
