Understanding the NetBackup 5330 hardware installation sequence

Storage shelf and compute node hardware installation sequence
Table 1-4
for a NetBackup 5330 high availability configuration (continued)
Step Description
4 Mount the storage shelf rails in the rack and install the storage shelves.
Install all expansion shelves below the primary shelf.
The following topic can be used for both the expansion shelf and the primary shelf.
See "Installing a primary shelf or an expansion shelf"
5 Install the disk drives into each storage shelf. Be sure to install only 3TB or 6TB disks
into one shelf. You cannot put both types of disks into a single shelf.
See "Installing disk drives into a primary shelf or an expansion shelf "
6 Mount the compute node rails in the rack and install the nodes as follows:
For a new deployment of the HA solution, install one of the nodes on top of the
■
Primary Storage Shelf. Install the other node on top of the first node.
For converting existing systems to an HA configuration, install the partner node
■
on top of the existing node.
See "Installing the compute node"
7 Connect the four fibre channel cables between the Primary Storage Shelf and the
compute node.
See "Connecting a NetBackup 5330 compute node to a primary shelf"
8 Connect the four Fibre Channel cables between the Primary Storage Shelf and the
partner node.
See "Connecting the partner node to the Primary Storage Shelf"
9 Connect the two Ethernet cables between the two nodes.
See "Connecting two nodes for HA communication"
10 Verify the hardware installation of the high availability configuration.
See "Verifying the hardware installation of a high availability configuration"
11 If you want to connect one expansion shelf to a primary shelf: Connect four SAS
cables between the expansion shelf and the primary shelf.
See "Connecting one expansion shelf to a primary shelf"
