About the NetBackup 5340 Appliance
The NetBackup 5340 Appliance is a hardware and software storage system that
can scale up to a total of 1920TB of usable backup capacity. It consists of one 2U
NetBackup 5340 Appliance compute node and one required externally attached
5U84 Primary Storage Shelf for data storage purposes. By itself, the NetBackup
5340 Appliance compute node does not provide internal disk space for data storage.
You can add up to three optional 5U84 Expansion Storage Shelves if you require
additional data storage space.
Note: Total usable backup capacity depends on the hardware configuration you
purchase.
See “Available appliance storage options” on page 37.
Fibre channel (FC) cables connect the NetBackup 5340 Appliance compute node
to the 5U84 Primary Storage Shelf. SAS3 cables connect the 5U84 Primary Storage
Shelf to the optional 5U84 Expansion Storage Shelves.
See “About NetBackup 5340 Appliance storage shelves” on page 35.
High Availability
Veritas also offers a high availability (HA) solution for NetBackup 5340 Appliance
systems. HA provides more efficient operation and improved aggregate performance
for data protection operations. A NetBackup 5340 Appliance HA solution consists
of two connected compute nodes that connect to common storage, and also runs
appliance software version 3.1 or later. Refer to the Veritas NetBackup™ Appliance

About the appliance compute node disk drive
configurations
The NetBackup 5340 Appliance compute node contains five 2 TB SAS hard disk
drives, which can be accessed from the compute node's front panel. An embedded
RAID controller on the compute node's mainboard is used to configure four of the
five disk drives into two RAID1 mirrored volumes.
The two RAID1 volumes are labeled Volume 0 and Volume 1. The disk drives that
are located in slot 0 and slot 1 are configured as the RAID1, VOLUME0 device.
These disk drives contain the appliance operating system, the operating system
swap file, and the NetBackup application. You can hot-swap one of these disk drives
at a time if a drive becomes problematic. However, you cannot operate the appliance
if both disk drives are removed.
The disk drives in slot 2 and slot 3 are configured as the RAID1, VOLUME1 device.
Volume 1 contains the log files. As with the RAID1, VOLUME0 device, you can
hot-swap one disk drive at a time if a drive becomes problematic. However, you
cannot operate the appliance if both drives are removed.
The appliance uses the disk drive that is located in slot 4 as a hot-spare disk. If a
disk drive in either of the RAID volume experiences a hardware error, the appliance
automatically initiates a RAID rebuild operation. During the rebuild operation, the
appliance dynamically accesses the hot-spare disk from slot 4 and uses it to rebuild
the RAID volume.

The NetBackup 5340 Appliance compute node front panel includes a USB
2.0-compliant port that supports a data transfer rate of up to 480 Mb/second.

When network links are detected on the controllers,
the LEDs are activated and remain on. The LEDs
blink when network activity occurs, and the rate at
which they blink is determined by the amount of
network activity that occurs.

The System Status LED is bi-color indicator that uses
the colors green and amber to display the current
health of the appliance.
Two locations are provided for you to monitor the
health of the system. You can find the first location
on the front control panel, while the second location
is located on the back edge of the server board. It is
viewable from the rear of the appliance. Both LEDs
show the same state of health.

About the System Status LED states
The System Status LED is a bi-color (Green/Amber) indicator that shows the current

location is on the Front Control Panel, while the second location is on the back edge
of the server board.
