Configurations that include at least one Storage Shelf require a SAS RAID controller
card that is installed in a PCIe add-in slot in the appliance. The appliance also has
the Fibre Channel port cards that are installed in the PCIe slots for all configurations.
Every NetBackup 5230 appliance contains 12 disk slots. They are numbered from
0 to 11, starting at the lower left-hand corner. The appliance has two SAS disks
that are installed in slots 0 and 1, which are used for the operating system and
mirrored RAID1 support. These two active system disks allow one of the disks to
be swapped out while the appliance is running.
Eight storage disks are installed in slots four through 11. The hot spare is in slot
11, in the top right-hand corner of the appliance.
The system disk drives are circled in red. The storage disk drives are circled in
yellow.
The NetBackup 5230 does not require a Veritas Storage Shelf to provide storage.
The standard appliance contains 1-TB storage disks which provide 4 TB of formatted
storage capacity. It is also possible to purchase 3-TB storage disks which provide
14 TB of available storage capacity. If additional storage is needed Storage Shelves
can be added.
The two active disks allow one of the disks to be swapped while the media server
is running. Blank disk carriers are installed in slots 2 through 11. The media servers
rely on the external storage hardware that is connected through the Fibre Channel
adapter cards that are installed inside the chassis. Fibre Channel ports on the
adapters are accessed from the rear panel.
