NetBackup 5240 Appliance I/O configuration options

The rear panel of the NetBackup 5240 Appliance contains three PCIe riser card assemblies. PCIe riser card assemblies 1 and 2 each support three standard PCIe cards, while PCIe riser card assembly 3 supports two low profile PCIe cards. The slots are labeled 1 to 8. Slots 1, 2, and 3 are located in PCIe riser card assembly 2. Slots 4, 5, and 6 are located in PCIe riser card assembly 1, while slots 7 and 8 are located in PCIe riser card assembly 3.

Includes the Veritas NetBackup™ 5240 CloudCatalyst Appliance

* Slot 1 contains a factory installed PCIe RAID 6 controller when at least one Veritas 2U12 49TB Storage Shelf is purchased with the NetBackup 5240 Appliance. Otherwise, slot 1 is not populated and is reserved for future use.

** Slot 7 contains the NetBackup 5240 Appliance's internal PCIe raid controller. This RAID controller is used to create the RAID 1 Array for the disk drives on which the appliance operating system is installed. The operating system disk drives are located in slots 0 and 1 of the front panel.

*** Slot 8 is reserved for the optional SAS tape-out adapter, which is used to connect external SAS devices to the NetBackup 5240 Appliance.

PCIe card cable connection types:

1 Direct-Attach copper cable (also called a Twinaxial cable or Twinax)

2 Standard copper cable

3 Fiber optic cable

**** I/O configuration option notes:

  • A NetBackup 5240 Appliance using configuration H does not support Fibre Channel Replication (FCR) as a Target.

  • A NetBackup 5240 Appliance using configurations D, E, H, K, P, R, V, and W can be configured as a dual port or as a quad port Fibre Transport Media Server (FTMS) server.

    You can use the Initiator ports for tape-out operations and VMware Datastores in the following scenarios:

    • If you do not configure the appliance as an FTMS server.

    • If you configure the appliance as a dual port FTMS server.

    You can also use the ports as a Fibre Channel Replication Initiator, or in combination with the previously mentioned uses.

    • (FTMS) - Fibre Transport Media Server

    • (FC-R) - Fibre Channel replication
