Supported Fibre Channel port configurations for the NetBackup 5230 appliances
Before you start configuring a particular FC feature on the appliance, make sure that it is supported with your appliance HBA configuration.
See Fibre Channel feature support for appliance HBA configurations.
The NetBackup 5230 Appliance can be preinstalled with up to five PCIe 8 Gb Fibre Channel HBA cards.
On a NetBackup 5230, slots 2 - 6 support FC.
Figure: NetBackup 5230 FC HBA slots and ports describes the supported FC HBA slot locations and the port order for the installed FC HBA cards.
See About the NetBackup 5230 rear panel configurations.
Note:
Veritas does not support reconfiguring the FC HBA cards in the appliance rear panel. Do not switch cards in different slots or install a used card from another appliance without contacting Veritas Technical Support.
