The Veritas 5250 Appliance is a hardware and software storage system that can scale to 429.4 TiB of available backup capacity. It consists of a Veritas 5250 Appliance and up to six optional Veritas 2U12 65.5TiB/72TB storage shelves. By itself, the 2U Veritas5250 Appliance offers internal storage from 9.1 TiB to 36.4 TiB, depending on the appliance configuration purchased.

A Veritas 2U12 65 B storage shelf offers 65.5 TiB of storage. Attaching six storage shelves offers 429.4 TiB of storage. As with previous generations of the NetBackup 52xx appliances, the Veritas 5250 Appliance can be configured as a primary server or a media server. It can also be configured as both. The 5250 Appliance supports both S Series and D Series storage shelves.

See "Usable appliance storage capacities" on page 37.

SAS-3 cables connect the Veritas 5250 Appliance to the storage shelves. SAS-3 cables also connect the storage shelves to each other.

The Veritas 5250 Appliance supports the following software:

■ NetBackup Appliance software release 3.2 (revised) and above

Note: This model uses a revised version of software release 3.2. This revised software version contains specific support for the 5250 hardware and the related software functionality that is not included in the previous 3.2 release. The minimum supported software version for the 5250 appliance is the revised 3.2 version that is shipped with each unit. If a re-image is ever necessary, you must use the revised 3.2 software version.

■ Flex Appliance 2.0.1 and above

About Veritas 5250 Appliance configurations

To determine the right Veritas 5250 Appliance system for your environment, you should consider the environment's future storage requirements over the lifetime of the system.

Veritas offers multiple I/O configurations from which to choose. You can use the supported Veritas 5250 Appliance I/O configurations to best serve the needs of your particular environment.

These configurations include the following:

■ One Veritas 5250 Appliance with 9.1 TiB of internal storage only
■ One Veritas 5250 Appliance with 36.4 TiB of internal storage only
■ One Veritas 5250 Appliance with up to six external 65.5TiB/72TB storage shelves for a total of 429.4 TiB of storage

If your environment requires more than 36TiBs of storage, consider the Veritas 5250 Appliance with 9.1TiBs of internal storage and one 65.5TiB/72TB Veritas 2U12 65.5TiB/72TB Storage Shelf. If more storage is required, you can add up to five additional 65.5TiB/72TB storage shelves to this configuration.

Features and components of the Veritas 5250 Appliance

This section describes the features and components of the Veritas 5250 Appliance.

Table 1-1 Veritas 5250 Appliance features

DescriptionFeature
Two (2) Intel® Scalable 4214 2.2 GHz processorsProcessor
Appliance software versionNetBackup Appliance 3.2 (revised) or aboveFlex Appliance 2.0.1 or aboveNote: For the latest NetBackup Appliance compatibility information, refer to the NetBackup Hardware Compatibility List posted on the following site:http://www.veritas.com/docs/000033647
Performance and capacitySupports high-performance processors with low-power consumption.Provides high-capacity intra-appliance switching bandwidth, along with high I/O throughput.Available internal storage capacities of 9 TB, or 36 TB without optional external storage shelves. The available capacity can be allocated either in part or in whole to a deduplication pool or to an AdvancedDisk pool (non-deduplicated storage).
System memory configuration (DIMMS)64GB, up to a maximum of 512GBNote: When you purchase the first expansion storage shelf, the Storage Expansion kit that comes with the storage shelf includes a replacement of 256GB memory. A Memory Expansion kit containing eight 32GB DIMM memory chip is needed to support the fifth storage shelf.
Space reductionThe deduplication engine provides up to 100 times reduction in storage. The client-side plug-in provides similar levels of bandwidth reduction.
Scalable architectureDue to fingerprinting and RAID redundancy, the overall storage capabilities are not a simple multiplication of the disk size and the total number of disks.
High availabilitySupports redundant hot-swappable disks and power modules.
RAID levelsRAID 1 (standard mirroring) and RAID 6 (block level striping with double distributed parity) are implemented as follows:■ Appliance system disks: RAID 1■ Appliance storage disks: RAID 6■ Storage shelf data storage disks: RAID 6Note: 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.
Fibre Channel supportThe Veritas 5250 Appliance can be ordered with one, two, three or four PCIe 16 Gb Fibre Channel host bus adapter cards preinstalled.See "Available I/O configurations by slot for Veritas 5250 Appliance installations" on page 25.
PCIe 10/25 Gb Ethernet cardsPCIe 10/25 Gb Ethernet cards with Fibre Optic ports are available.
See "About the 5250 Appliance rear panel" on page 19.Rear par
Additional storageYesYou can attach up to six optional storage shelves to the Veritas 5250 Appliance. Depending on the appliance configuration you purchase, a total of 429.4 TB of usable storage capacity is available.See "Usable appliance storage capacities" on page 37.

natural_image Interior view of a computer drive bay showing internal components like CPU socket, drive bays, and network (no readable text or symbols)

You can also find the serial number in the pull-out plastic tab located at the front-left-hand of the chassis.

Veritas 5250 Appliance front panel disk drive configurations

The Veritas 5250 Appliance contains 12 SAS hard disk drives, which can be accessed from the appliance's front panel. An embedded RAID controller on the appliance's mainboard is used to configure four of the 12 disks into two RAID1 mirrored volumes. These volumes are labeled Volume0 and Volume1.

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 and the NetBackup/Flex application. You can hot-swap one of these disk drives at a time; 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. These disk drives store all of the log files.

The disk drives in slots 4 through 10 store user data. They are configured as a RAID 6 array, which uses block-level striping with two parity blocks across each of the disk drives in the volume.

The appliance uses the disk drive that is located in slot 11 as a hot-spare disk. If one of the disk drives fails in slots 4 through 10, the appliance automatically initiates a RAID 6 rebuild operation. It rebuilds the RAID 6 array by using the hot-spare disk drive in slot 11. After you replace the failed disk drive, the appliance then copies the information from the disk drive in slot 11 to the new replacement disk. When the copy operation finishes, the disk drive in slot 11 again becomes the hot-spare disk.

Note: The hot-spare drive size depends on the data drive size.

Warning: The disk drives are pre-formatted before the appliance is shipped. Do not rearrange the disks from their original locations.

S Series Storage Shelf

VERITAS 5250 - Storage Shelf overview - 1

natural_image Close-up of a Veritas VR headset grille and AEBLVM2 logo (no readable text or symbols beyond branding)

The optional Veritas S Series 2U12 65.5TiB/72TB Storage Shelf is a 2U12 drive enclosure that contains twelve 8TB 7200 rpm SAS hard disk drives. Available

storage capacity of the storage shelf is 65 TiB. Each disk drive can be accessed from the storage shelf's front panel. The PCIe RAID controller is used to configure the disk drives into a RAID 6 configuration. One of the disk drives is reserved as a global hot spare and can be used in case of any drive failure.

The S Series Storage Shelf also contains two Storage Bay Bridge 2.1 compliant (SBB) Input/Output (I/O) modules. Each I/O module has three mini-SAS HD ports, which are labeled A, B, and C. As such, each storage shelf contains a total of six mini-SAS HD I/O ports. However, only ports A and B of each I/O module are used to connect the storage shelf to the appliance or other storage shelves.

Each I/O module also includes one Ethernet port and a 3.5mm RS232 Interface-to-Enclosure Services Processor jack. The Ethernet port and the RS232 jack are only used during on-site debugging operations. They are not used during normal appliance operations.

Along with the I/O modules and the disk drives, the Storage Shelf also includes a front control panel. The control panel provides LED indications of the health of the storage shelf. It uses a dual seven segment display for enclosure identification and a switch that is used for storage shelf configuration purposes.

The Storage Shelf serial number appears on a plastic panel on the left side of Power Cooling Module 0 (PCM 0). The storage shelf serial number begins with the letters SH.

See "S Series Storage Shelf front panel components" on page 38.

See "S Series Storage Shelf rear components" on page 42.

See "S Series Storage Shelf control panel" on page 40.

D Series Storage Shelf

The Veritas D Series 2U12 65.5TiB/72TB Storage Shelf is a direct-attach storage enclosures designed to maximize your server storage capacity. Available storage capacity of the storage shelf is 65 TiB. It offers the flexibility of 3.5-inch or 2.5-inch hard drives (with specially designed carriers) in a 2U, 12-drive enclosure. The PCIe RAID controller is used to configure the disk drives into a RAID 6 configuration. One of the disk drives is reserved as a global hot spare and can be used in case of any drive failure.

The D Series Storage Shelf also contains two Storage Bay Bridge 2.1 compliant (SBB) Input/Output (I/O) modules. Each I/O module has four mini-SAS HD ports, which are labeled 1, 2, 3 and 4. As such, each storage shelf contains a total of six mini-SAS HD I/O ports. However, only ports 1 and 2 of each I/O module are used to connect the storage shelf to the appliance or other storage shelves.

The Storage Shelf service tag number is located on a black tab on the right side of the rear panel, between the bottom I/O module and the power supply. Pull out the

tab to display the serial number. The service tag number/serial number is also located on the front panel right side ear. The service tag number/serial number is listed after the "ST:" notation.

Note: Usable storage capacities are rounded values. Veritas calculates these values from the raw storage capacities of the various Veritas 5250 Appliance-only configurations. The raw capacity of the Veritas 2U12 65.5TiB/72TB Storage Shelf is 65.5 tebibyte. To determine the exact usable capacities of each configuration, use the following formulas: + 65.5 = exact usable capacity

* You can add up to six Storage Shelves to an existing Veritas 5250 Appliance with internal storage capacities of 9.1TiB or 36.4TiB. However, before you place the system into a production environment, you must migrate all MSDP data from the appliance to the first external storage shelf. After you migrate the MSDP data, the system's usable storage space may fluctuate, depending on how much actual storage space the MSDP data pool uses.

A 256GB memory upgrade kit is available for purchase when adding the first 2U12 65.5TiB/72TB Storage Shelf, which replaces all existing DIMM modules in the appliance. Contact your Veritas account representative for details.

Note: Spanning MSDP data across both Veritas 5250 Appliance internal storage and a storage shelf is not recommended as it may result in degraded performance.

Warning: Failure to migrate MSDP data after you connect a storage shelf may result in degraded appliance throughput performance.

For more information about migrating MSDP data, see the following document: Moving the MSDP partition from a base disk to an expansion disk for optimum performance.
