Shelf disk drives. The RAID controllers also provide RAID data protection technology for the optional 5U84 Expansion Storage Shelves that you connect to the 5U84 Primary Storage Shelf. SAS-3 copper cables connect the 5350 Appliance compute nodes to the 5U84 Primary Storage Shelf through the storage shelf's RAID controllers.
55. Veritas 5U84 Primary Storage Shelf RAID controllers The Veritas 5U84 Primary Storage Shelf uses dual, hot swappable SAS-3 RAID controllers. These controllers create and manage the 5U84 Primary Storage Shelf disk drive RAID sets that contain backed up data.
