Features and components of the NetBackup 5240 Appliance
Description
64GB, up to a maximum of 192GBs
Note:
When you purchase the first expansion storage
shelf, the Storage Expansion kit that comes with the storage
shelf includes an additional 64 GBs of memory.
After adding the first storage shelf and the memory, you
can increase the appliance memory to 192 GBs by
purchasing an additional 64-GB memory kit.
The deduplication engine provides up to 100 times
reduction in storage. The client-side plug-in provides similar
levels of bandwidth reduction.
Due to fingerprinting and RAID redundancy, the overall
storage capabilities are not a simple multiplication of the
disk size and the total number of disks.
Supports the redundant hot-swappable disks and power
modules.
RAID 1 (standard mirroring) and RAID 6 (block level striping
with double distributed parity) are implemented as follows:
Appliance system disks: RAID 1
■
Appliance storage disks: RAID 6
■
Storage shelf data storage disks: RAID 6
■
Note:
The disk drives in the appliance are pre-formatted
before the appliance is shipped. These drives should not
be moved into different slots or otherwise rearranged.
The NetBackup 5240 Appliance can be ordered with one
to five PCIe 8 Gb Fibre Channel host bus adapter cards
preinstalled. PCIe 10 Gb Ethernet cards with Fibre Channel
ports are also available.
