Available appliance storage options

The Veritas 5340 Appliance compute nodes do not contain internal disk space on which to store data. Instead, the 5340 Appliance uses the required Veritas 5U84 Primary Storage Shelf as the main data storage device. The 5U84 Primary Storage Shelf connects to the 5340 Appliance compute nodes and uses RAID 6 drive sets to protect the stored data.

Note:

RAID 6 is also known as double-parity RAID. It uses two parity stripes on each disk to protect data. RAID 6 allows for two hard disk failures within the RAID disk array before any data is lost.

If additional data storage space is required, you can connect up to three optional Veritas 5U84 Expansion Storage Shelves to the existing 5U84 Primary Storage Shelf. The 5U84 Expansion Storage Shelves connect to the 5U84 Primary Storage Shelf using SAS-3 data cables. After connecting the shelves, the disk drives in the 5U84 Expansion Storage Shelf use RAID 6 sets that are controlled by the 5U84 Primary Storage Shelf to protect the stored data.

Table: Usable NetBackup 5340 Appliance 5U84 Storage Shelf storage capacities by disk drive capacities shows the available storage shelf storage capacities for the 5340 Appliance running NetBackup software using 4-TB and 8-TB disk capacities.

Note:

Veritas does not support mixing 4TB and 8TB disk drives within a storage shelf.

*NetBackup 5340 Appliance software version 3.1.1 supports up to 960TiB (1,056TB) of usable MSDP storage capacity. For all storage configurations with an aggregate total of all MSDP pools equaling 960TB or larger, Veritas strongly recommends upgrading the memory capacity to 1536GB.

** For these storage shelf configurations, Veritas strongly recommends that you upgrade the memory capacity to 1.5TB when using NetBackup Appliance software versions 3.1 or later, due to the increased resource requirements from updated MSDP encryption standards.

* Flex 5340 Appliance software supports up to 960TiB (1,056TB) of usable MSDP storage capacity when using one MSDP storage pool. When multiple MSDP storage pools are used, you can use the entire amount of usable storage capacity for MSDP storage if desired. The total amount of usable storage capacity depends on the number of storage shelves that are connected to the Flex compute node.

** For these storage shelf configurations, Veritas strongly recommends that you upgrade the memory capacity to 1.5TB, due to the increased resource requirements from updated MSDP encryption standards.
