HamiltonCounty Deputy Sheriff and Past Grand Knight, Craig Bodnar, along with Grand Knight David Flowers presented a $1,000 check to Abbey Markus of the Chattanooga Area Food Bank. This donation was made possible by Brother Knight Mike Mayo, who made a sizeable cash donation to the council.

These past 12 months have been extremely challenging for us all. But 6099 rose to this challenge on the shoulders of PGK Craig Bodnar who engaged the Chattanooga Food Bank 13 months ago, spearheaded the drives, and delivered the food. Holy Family Council 6099, the Chattanooga Area Food Bank, and this community sincerely thank Brother Craig for his tireless service to this community in so many ways. You are a shining example of a Knight of Columbus.

Thanks to the Grand Knight, Walt Vamprine, and Craig Bodnar who have all donated their soups for the cause, helping to raise funds and interject some fun this season. We have had a blast this year seeing you all and hope to see you all and more one more time this year.

6099 processes the cans collected at OLPH and transports them to a recycler. We had some help this past Saturday from ND students Frances Hackett, Wesley Davis, Logan Qualey, Augustrine Dritto, and Diego Zacate.

IBM Storwize V3700 Storage System for Lenovo (Machine Type 6099) is a member of the IBM Storwize family of disk systems. By using IBM Storwize V7000 Storage System and IBM SAN Volume Controller functions, interoperability, and management tools, Storwize V3700 delivers innovation and new levels of storage efficiency with ease of use in an entry-level disk system to enable organizations to overcome their storage challenges.

Storwize V3700 Storage System features two node canisters, with 4 GB cache per canister upgradeable to 8 GB, in a compact, 2U, 19-inch rack mount enclosure. A 6 Gb SAS and 1 Gb iSCSI connectivity is standard, with an option for 8 Gb Fibre Channel (FC) or 10 iSCSI or Fibre Channel over Ethernet (FCoE) connectivity.

Storwize V3700 supports up to 240 drives with up to nine external expansion units. It also offers flexible drive configurations with the choice of 2.5-inch and 3.5-inch drive form factors, 10 K or 15 K rpm SAS and 7.2 K rpm NL SAS hard disk drives (HDDs), and SAS solid-state drives (SSDs).

Storwize V3700 provides small and midsized organizations with the ability to consolidate and share data at an affordable price, while utilizing advanced software capabilities that often are found in more expensive systems.

All drives are dual-port and hot-swappable. Drives of the same form factor can be intermixed within the appropriate enclosure, which provides the flexibility to address performance and capacity needs within a single enclosure.

Up to nine Storwize V3700 expansion units are supported by a single Storwize V3700 controller unit. You can intermix 3.5-inch and 2.5-inch expansion units behind a 3.5-inch or 2.5-inch controller unit. This configuration delivers the added flexibility to mix 3.5-inch and 2.5-inch drives within a single system. More drives and expansion units are designed to be dynamically added with virtually no downtime, which helps to quickly and seamlessly respond to ever-growing capacity demands.

The Storwize V3700 controller units ship with two node canisters. A node canister provides interfaces for host connectivity, management, and internal drives, and it runs storage management and virtualization software.

Each Storwize V3700 controller unit ships with 8 GB of battery-backed cache (4 GB per node canister) that can be upgraded to 16 GB (8 GB per node canister). The following table lists cache upgrade option.

Each node canister has one expansion slot for an optional host interface card (HIC). The following host interfaces can be added to the Storwize V3700 controller unit with optional HICs (if HICs are used, two HICs of the same type are required per one controller unit):

The Storwize V3700 controller units provide 6 Gb SAS internal dual-port drive connectivity, and each controller unit also has two 6 Gb SAS x4 (Mini-SAS HD SFF-8644) ports (1 port per node canister) for 6 Gb SAS expansion unit connectivity.

The Storwize V3700 controller unit supports attachment of up to nine Storwize V3700 expansion units. Intermix of LFF and SFF units is supported. The enclosures can be added to the system non-disruptively.

Each Storwize V3700 expansion unit ships with two expansion canisters. Each expansion canister provides 6 Gb SAS connectivity to the internal drives and two external 6 Gb SAS x4 ports (Mini-SAS HD SFF-8644 connectors labelled Port 1 and Port 2) that are used for connections to the Storwize V3700 node canisters and for daisy chaining the expansion units between each other. The expansion port (Port 4) on the Storwize V3700 node canister is connected to the Port 1 on the expansion canister. The Port 2 on the expansion canister is connected to the Port 1 on the expansion canister in the adjacent enclosure, and so on.

Note: Storwize V3700 functional capabilities that are described in this product guide are based on the Spectrum Virtualize Family Software for Storwize V3700 version 7.8. The Spectrum Virtualize Software for Storwize V3700 version 7.8 requires 8 GB cache memory per node canister.

Optimizes efficiency by allocating disk storage space in a flexible manner among multiple users, based on the minimum space required by each user at any time. With thin provisioning, applications use only the space they are actually using, not the total space that is allocated to them.

Enables creation of copies of data for backup, parallel processing, testing, and development, and have the copies available almost immediately. Base software supports up to 64 FlashCopy targets per system.

The Storwize V3700 storage capabilities can be expanded with optional licensed functions. Each optional Storwize V3700 function is licensed on a per-system basis and covers controller unit and all attached expansion units.

To help evaluate the benefits of these new capabilities, licensed functions (with the exception of FlashCopy upgrade) can be enabled at no charge for a 90-day trial period. Trials are started from the Storwize management GUI and do not require any Lenovo intervention. Upon expiration of the trial, the function is automatically disabled unless a license key for that function was installed onto the machine.

Turbo performance increases the maximum IOPS and throughput of a Storwize V3700 Storage System. Configurations with greater than 80 disk drives or more than five SSDs are ideal candidates to benefit from the increased IOPS offered with Turbo performance. Configurations with greater than 30 HDDs are suited to benefit from the throughput increase offered with Turbo performance.

FlashCopy allows the creation of copies of data for backup, parallel processing, testing, and development, and have the copies available almost immediately. All Storwize V3700 storage systems support up to 64 targets per system at no charge. The FlashCopy upgrade option increases this support to 2,040 FlashCopy targets per system.

Storage tiering helps optimize storage use with data location to improve system performance, reduce costs, and simplify management. Easy Tier automatically and dynamically moves frequently accessed data to flash (solid-state) drives in the system, which results in flash drive performance without manually creating and managing storage tier policies. Easy Tier makes it easy and economical to deploy flash drives in the environment.

The remote mirroring option must be acquired (or licensed) for the primary (local) and secondary (remote) systems. If Storwize V3700 is mirrored to a system other than Storwize V3700, the other system must have the appropriate and applicable license for remote mirroring.

The Storwize V3700 has a three-year Customer Replaceable Unit (CRU) and onsite warranty with 9x5/next business day (NBD) terms. Lenovo offers the service upgrades through warranty maintenance upgrades and post-warranty maintenance agreements with a well-defined scope of services, including service hours, response time, term of service, and service agreement terms and conditions.

Lenovo warranty service upgrade offerings are country-specific. Not all warranty service upgrades are available in every country. For more information about Lenovo warranty service upgrade offerings that are available in your country, refer to the Lenovo Enterprise Solutions Configurator (LESC):
