About this guide

This chapter includes the following topics:

■ Introducing this guide

■ NetBackup 5230 storage configurations

■ NetBackup 5230 appliance rear panel configurations

Introducing this guideThe Symantec NetBackup 5230 appliance is designed to work in three storageconfigurations. It can be used as a standalone device, inwhich case it has a storagecapacity of 4 TB. It can also be used with one or two Symantec Storage Shelves,using SAS attachments through plug-in RAID controllers. When using a singleStorage Shelf, thememory capacity can reach 40 TB, if 3-TB disks are used.Whenusing two Storage Shelves, the capacity can reach 76 TB. This document coversthenecessary actions required toupdate theNetBackup5230 appliance to increasethe number of storage shelves used.

NetBackup 5230 storage configurationsFour storage configurations are available:

■ A standalone 5230 appliance: This configuration provides a storage capacityof 4 TB, contained in the eight storage disks which are plugged into theappliance. It is not connected to a storage shelf.

■ A 5320 appliance with one storage shelf, using 2-TB disks: This configurationis connected to a storage shelf through a plug-in RAID SAS controller. TheSAS cables from the controller are connected to the SAS INports of the storageshelf. The SAS OUT ports are not used. The overall storage capacity is 28 TB.

1Chapter

■ A 5320 appliance with one storage shelf, using 3-TB disks: This configurationis identical, but the individual disks have a 3-TB capacity. The storage capacityis 40 TB.

■ A 5320 appliance with two storage shelves: This configuration also uses 3-TBdisks, and the appliance is also connected to the first storage shelf through aplug-inRAIDSAScontroller. TheSASOUTports of the first shelf are connectedto the SAS IN ports of the second shelf. The SASOUTports in the second shelfare not used. The storage capacity is 76 TB.

NetBackup 5230 appliance rear panel configurationsThe NetBackup 5230 appliance ships in five configurations. In addition, it canship with 0, 1, or 2 Symantec Storage Shelves. The shelves can be ordered asseparate devices.

In Configuration 1, one FC HBA card is installed. You can connect the FC ports toFibreTransport data transfer clients or other devices. This appliance configurationis not used with a storage shelf.

Figure 1-1 NetBackup 5230 configuration 1

In Configuration 2, one RAID controller is installed into Slot 1. The SAS ports onthe RAID controller connect to the SAS_IN ports on the storage shelf. TheSAS_OUT ports on the first storage shelf are attached to the SAS IN ports on thesecond storage shelf, if two shelves are used.

One FC HBA card is installed. You can connect the FC ports to Fibre Transportdata transfer clients or other devices.

Upgrade Scenarios

This chapter includes the following topics:

■ Memory upgrades

■ Rear Panel upgrades

Memory upgrades■ Scenario 1 - adding a storage shelf to a standalone appliance

An appliance with no storage shelf can be seen in Figure 1-1. To add a storageshelf to this configuration, a RAID controller plug-in and a Symantec StorageShelf must be ordered and installed. The correct number of SAS cables mustalso be ordered. The SAS ports on the RAID controllermust be attached to theSAS IN ports on the storage shelf. The storage shelf can be orderedwith either2-TB disks or 3-TB disks, to provide a capacity of 24 TB or 36 TB.

■ Scenario 2 - adding two storage shelves to a standalone computerIf two storage shelves are ordered, the first storage shelf is installed as notedin scenario 1. The SAS OUT ports on the first storage shelf must then beconnected to the SAS IN ports on the second storage shelf. In addition, theindividual disks should all have 3 TB capacity, which provides 36 TB per shelf.

■ Scenario 3 - adding a second storage shelfIf the appliance is already connected to one storage shelf, a second storageshelf can be ordered and installed. In this case, the user should use a new pairof SAS cables to attach the SAS IN ports on the second storage shelf to theSASOUTports in the first storage shelf. Note that the individual disk capacityfor the two storage shelf configurationsmust be 3TB, so this upgrade requiresordering two new storage shelves if the original shelf uses 2 TB disks.

■ Scenario 4 - increasing storage capacity for a single shelf

2Chapter

The NetBackup 5320 supports usage of both 2-TB disks and 3-TB disks, butthe all the disks in a storage shelf should all have the same capacity. If the2-TB disks are in use, then a new storage shelf, containing 3-TB disks, mustbe ordered. If the storage shelf already uses 3-TB disks, then it already has themaximum amount of available storage.

Rear Panel upgrades■ Scenario 1 - adding a RAID controller

A RAID controller must be ordered and plugged into the rear panel of theappliance when a storage shelf is added to an appliance that had no shelfconfigured. Two SAS cables should be used to attach the appliance to the SASIN ports on the storage shelf.

■ Scenario 2 - Ethernet upgradeThe appliance has two 10 Gb Ethernet ports. If desired, additional 10 GbEthernet ports can be added with a rear panel plug-in. Each plug-in has twoports, as seen in Figure 1-3.

■ Scenario 3 - adding Fibre Channel connectionsUp to three additional Fibre Channel plug-ins can be added to the rear panel.All configurations have at least one Fibre Channel plug-in.
