Third GeneraHon NetBackup Appliance Design Goals

•  I/O ConnecMvity – More choices, more ports

•  Capable of future I/O connecMvity as the market changes

• Resilience –  ConMnue to opMmize upMme design –  Provide redundant paths for I/O

• Green IniMaMves –  Higher efficiency on power supplies –  ConMnued effort on up to date and future RoHS requirements

• Open design –  Accommodate new hardware capabiliMes as they become available. –  Designed for minimum downMme on upgrades.

Baderies in the NetBackup Appliances

•  In our first 2 GeneraMons of Appliances, we used Lithium ION baeery packs to protect the write cache on the RAID controllers in the event of power failure.

• Worked well but…. –  Lithium ION have a limited number of charges –  Lithium is not exactly “Eco friendly” –  “Learn Mode” has a temporary impact on performance every month.

•  Super Capacitor / NVRAM is the new soluMon and used on the NetBackup 5230 and 5030 –  In the event of power loss, the informaMon in the Write Cache is wrieen to NVRAM power by a “Super Capacitor” within 30 seconds.

–  Eliminates Lithium from the soluMon –  2,000,000 + hour MTBF reliability –  Charges in seconds upon server boot: No more learn mode

Fibre Channel Ports


NetBackup 5230 I/O configuraHons


Fibre Channel Ports on the NetBackup 5230

• Fibre Channel Ports have two states: IniHator and Target –  IniMator ports are used to connect to Target ports on storage

•  Tape •  NAS/Filer •  ReplicaMon targets

–  Target ports are used for connecMon to the fabric and are the end point for SAN clients •  The 5230 needs to be configured as a Fibre Transport Media Server •  If NOT configured as a Fibre Transport Media Server, all Fibre Channel ports are IniHators.

• When the 5230 IS configured as a Fibre Transport Media Server, the two (2) ports that are Target ports will be the right port of the HBAs in the top right of the NetBackup 5230 as viewed from the rear of the 5230

Appliance Rollback



Select Preview Validate Rollback

The appliance automaMcally creates checkpoints before and aQer every upgrade.

You have the opMon to create one checkpoint too.



Preview what is going to be changed. The rollback will also show if there will be a version rollback.



Before rolling back to the checkpoint, the appliance performs a validaMon step to check for pre-‐condiMons that ensure the rollback will succeed.

…ways to smooth the journey



I want to replace my master server with an appliance. Is it possible to migrate the catalog?

Answer: Yes


Catalog MigraHon & ConsulHng Services

Answer: It depends on the complexity of the migraFon -‐-‐ very simple, simple or complex merges and splits.

How?


Level of MigraHon Scope How

1 Very simple migraMons

•  *nix to appliance •  No hostname changes •  7.5.0.4 or above

Follow TECHNOTE 203048

2 Simple migraMons

•  *nix or Windows to appliance (plaGorm change)

•  Hostname changes •  Version upgrades (6.5.6+) •  New deployment of Target

Available through consulMng*

3 Complex merges or splits

•  *nix or Windows to appliance •  Qualified cluster transiMons •  Target already deployed •  Source versions from 6.5.6+


4 Appliance to Appliance migraMons and merges

•  MigraMng or merging of 2 or more appliances


* New Tools Reduce ConsulMng Engagement Time by 30-‐60%
