Chapter

Table 1-1 Appliance features
DescriptionFeature
The deduplication engine provides up to 100 times reduction in
storage. The client-side plug-in provides similar levels of bandwidth
reduction.
Space 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.
See “About storage capacity” on page 9.
Scalable architecture
Supports the redundant hot-swappable disks and power modules.High availability
Provides separate out-of-band management network interfaces.
You can remotely turn on, turn off, and reset appliances through
the network.
Supports remotely configuring and managing the appliances
through KVM over IP.
Supports the SNMP traps and automatically reports alarms.
Supports reporting the disk information through the out-of-band
management channel.
Easy management
64 GB, up to a maximum of 192 GBs
Note: You can purchase additional 64-GB memory kits to
maximize the amount of memory in the NetBackup 5230 Appliance.
You can also use the memory kits to increase the appliance
memory when you add an optional storage shelf to the system.
System memory
configuration (DIMMS)
RAID 1 (standard mirroring) and RAID 6 (block level striping with
double distributed parity) are used 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.

About storage capacity
The standard NetBackup 5230 Appliance without attached storage shelves provides
4.55 TB of storage capacity. This configuration uses 1-TB storage drives in slots 4
through 11 in the front panel of the appliance. You can also use 3-TB storage drives
in these slots to achieve 13.65 TB of formatted storage without any externally
attached storage shelves. The option of 3-TB appliance drives is available in
NetBackup Appliance release 2.6.0.2 and subsequent releases.
Note: The disk drives in slots 0 and 1 of the appliance are 1-TB drives. These drives
provide the operating system for the appliance.
To expand the NetBackup 5230 Appliance storage capacity, you can connect up
to four storage shelves to the appliance.

** You can also add a 2U12 49TB Storage Shelf to an existing 4.55TB appliance with attached 3U16 24TB or 3U16
36TB Storage Shelves. However, you must connect the 2U12 49TB Storage Shelf to the last 3U16 24TB or 36TB
Storage Shelf that is connected to the appliance.
For example, NetBackup 5230 Appliance + 3U16 24TB Storage Shelf + 3U16 24TB Storage Shelf + 3U16 36TB
Storage Shelf + 2U12 49TB Storage Shelf.
In addition, attaching a 2U12 49TB Storage Shelf to a 3U16 24TB or 36TB Storage Shelf requires a SAS3-to-SAS2
cable to connect the shelves. Finally, the SAS3 data transfer rate of the 2U12 49TB Storage Shelf drops to match
the SAS2 data transfer rate of the 3U16 24TB or 36TB Storage Shelf.
See “About the optional Veritas 2U12 49TB Storage Shelf”on page 34.
Note: Connecting up to four Veritas 3U16 24TB or 36TB Storage Shelves requires the NetBackup 5230 Appliance
to be running appliance software version 2.6.0.2 or later.
To connect a Veritas 2U12 49TB Storage Shelf requires the NetBackup 5230 Appliance to be running appliance
software version 3.0 or higher. A patch is available for appliance software version 2.7.3, which you can download
using the following link:
https://www.veritas.com/support/en_US/article.000116670
See “About best practices for rack installation” on page 11.
About best practices for rack installation
The heaviest equipment should be installed at the bottom of a rack. The heavy
devices that are installed at the top of a rack make the rack "top-heavy", or unstable.
Unstable racks jeopardize staff and equipment safety and are subject to risk.
When you install more than one device per rack, do the following:
■Find out how much each device weighs.
■Determine device order and cabling limits.
11Product overview
About best practices for rack installation

A storage device is heavier than an appliance and must always be installed
under the appliance.
■
■Be aware of the depth of the guide rails and the devices. Ensure that the distance
between cabinet posts accommodates the rails and devices.
■The rack rails that are provided for the appliance are extensible to 30”
(752mm). This distance is the maximum depth that is allowed between rack
posts. If the distance between rack posts is longer than 30” (752mm) the
rails and the appliance cannot be properly installed. The width of the
appliance is 19” (482.6mm).
■The rack rails that are provided for the Storage Shelf are extensible to 36”
(914mm). This distance is the maximum depth that is allowed between rack
posts. If the distance between rack posts is longer than 36” (914mm) the
rails and the appliance cannot be properly installed. The width of the storage
shelf is 19” (482.6mm).
■If your rack dimensions do not conform to these requirements contact Veritas
Technical Support.
■Populate the bottom of the rack with heavier devices, such as the storage
devices.
A fully-populated storage device is heavier than an appliance. The storage
devices should always be installed under the appliance.
About the appliance rear panel
The rear panel of the appliance has several access ports and other features, which

About the appliance rear panel

The NetBackup 5230 appliance add-in cards are available in five configurations.
Several configurations include at least one FC HBA card for VMware, Optimized
Deduplication over FC, or tape library connectivity.
In some configurations the FC HBA cards are installed into some of the PCIe slots.
If the cards are installed in slots 5 and 6, the configuration supports Fibre Transport
media server (FTMS) mode. Port 1 of each card is configured in Target mode (1)
as shown. Port 2 is configured in Initiator mode (2). Only configurations D and E
support FTMS.

See “About the NetBackup 5230 rear panel configurations” on page 16.
About the mainboard RAID controller
The SAS RAID controller in the appliance is an Intel RMS25CB080 card. The
controller is preinstalled at the factory, on the mainboard of the appliance. This
controller is also known as the internal controller. The SAS RAID controller that is
installed in the PCIe riser slot is known as the external controller.
The mainboard RAID controller includes a maintenance-free backup unit (MFBU)
with a super-capacitor and flash memory. The parameters that are associated with
the controller are as follows:
■Dimensions - 2.713 in x 6.600 in (6.891 cm x 16.764 cm) (low-profile). The card
is full height and low profile.
■Operating voltage - +3.3 V +/-8%, +12 V +/-8%
■PCI power (nominal) - 9W typical, airflow minimum 200 LFM
■Environmental humidity - 0°C to 50°C; 5% to 90% non-condensing, operating
■Environmental humidity - -45°C to 105°C; 5% to 90% non-condensing, storage
See “About the 2-port 8 Gb FC HBA ” on page 18.
About the external RAID controller
When at least one storage shelf is purchased with an appliance, a factory-installed
PCIe RAID card is installed in the following slots:
15Product overview
About the mainboard RAID controller

■Slot 5 - NetBackup 5220 Appliance
■Slot 1 - NetBackup 5230/5240 Appliances
The RAID card contains two SAS ports which connect to the storage shelf with SAS
cables. If the optional external storage shelves are not included in the order at the
time of the appliance purchase, the PCIe RAID card is not included.
Note: The NetBackup 5330 Appliance compute node does not contain an external
RAID controller. NetBackup 5330 Appliance storage shelf RAID functions are
controlled by the NetBackup 5330 Appliance's attached Primary Storage Shelf.

Shelf features
DescriptionFeature
Holds 16 3.5-inch 2-TB or 3-TB 7,200 rpm SAS disk drives.
Note: The disk capacities that are used in the 3U16 storage shelves
depends on the 3U16 storage shelf model that you purchase.
For example, the Veritas 3U16 24TB Storage Shelf uses 2-TB disks and
offers 24 terabytes of usable storage capacity. The Veritas 3U16 36TB
Storage Shelf uses 3-TB disks and offers 36 terabytes of usable storage
capacity.
Capacity
RAID 6RAID level
Four SAS 6.0-Gbps ports (two per each independent I/O module). Each
I/O module contains one SAS_IN port and one SAS_OUT port. Each 3U16
storage shelf has two I/O modules. Therefore, a 3U16 storage shelf has
two SAS_IN ports and two SAS_OUT ports.
Two serial RJ-11 ports (1 per I/O module) - for Technical Support use only.
