Administering your appliance
Monitoring information
NetBackup 5200 Series Command Reference Guide
The NetBackup 5200 Series Command Reference Guide contains detailed
information about the NetBackup appliance commands that you can run from the
NetBackup appliance shell menu. Each command contains a brief description of the
primary function of the command, a synopsis, and descriptions of each of the options
listed in the synopsis. The NetBackup appliance shell menu is an interactive shell
that is available on the 52xx appliances through SSH. This menu interface enables
you to perform most of the administration functions that are necessary to administer
a NetBackup 5200 series appliance.

Introduction
The NetBackup 5220 is an integrated high-density, high-performance backup
appliance. It encapsulates network backup needs. The unit is easy to install and
manage. It is a scalable appliance with an internal capacity of 4.5 TB formatted
capacity and the ability to add another 24 TB with 2 TB disks or 36 TB with 3 TB
disks of external storage via the Symantec Storage Shelf, a disk expansion unit. The
NetBackup 5220 enclosure is 2U high and the Symantec Storage Shelf enclosure is
3U high. Both devices fit into standard 19” racks.
Some components of both devices are hot-swappable; they can be removed and
replaced without powering down either device. Other components are not
hot-swappable; they require powering down of the entire system and devices. Refer
to the NetBackup 5220 and Symantec Storage Shelf Hardware Troubleshooting Guide for
detailed lists of hot-swappable and non-hot-swappable components.

Weight with drives: 32.2 Kg (71 lbs) approximate
The installation height (the space occupied by a NetBackup 5220 in a rack cabinet) is
2U (1U = 44.5 cm). The appliance can be installed in a rack cabinet that is 19 inches
(1 inch = 2.54 cm) wide and 100 cm deep (or deeper).
Dimensions of the Symantec Storage Shelf:
Height: 13.1 cm (5.25”)
Width: 44.7 cm (17.6”)
Depth: 56.1 cm (22.1”)
Weight without drives: 26.5 Kg (58.4 lbs)
Weight with drives: 32.5Kg (71.7 lbs)
assuming 1.1lbs per drive
The installation height (the space occupied by a Symantec Storage Shelf in a rack
cabinet) is 3U (1U = 44.5 cm). It can be installed in a rack cabinet that is 19 inches (1
inch = 2.54 cm) wide and 100 cm deep (or deeper).

Disk drive features
The disk drives have the following features:
The OS of the NetBackup 5220 is installed on system disks that are not
hot-swappable.
The disk in slot 7 of the drive is designated as the spare disk.
If a disk in slot 0 through 6 fails or is removed, the spare disk contains backed
up data.
Provide storage capacity
The NetBackup 5220 can provide storage capacity for storing other data
besides the system data on the system disks. Except for the system disks and
hot spare disks, all other disks are data disks and provide storage capacity.
When data is being read or written on disks, do not power off the device by
turning off the power. Otherwise, the disks data may be damaged.
To power off the device correctly, stop reading and writing data on the disks
first. Then send a shutdown command through the OS.
Disk module LEDs
One disk inside a carrier defines the “Disk Module.” There are two LEDs on each
disk module. One LED indicates disk status. The other LED indicates Power and/or
Activity.
