About the appliance storage
The Veritas Access 3340 Appliance must be connected to one Primary Storage Shelf. The storage space can be expanded by using up to three Expansion Storage Shelves. After you have physically connected the storage shelves, use the Access Appliance shell menu to discover and refresh the storage devices information. All the appliance nodes share the external storage that is attached to the appliance.
Note:
The Veritas Access 3340 compute nodes do not have internal disk space available for Access storage. Only the space available on the Primary Storage Shelf and Expansion Storage Shelves can be used for Access data.
The physical disk storage in the Primary Storage Shelf contains five Data volumes, five Fencing volumes, and one Configuration volume.
The physical disk storage in the Expansion Storage Shelf contains five Data volumes.
The Data, Fencing, and Configuration volumes are created when you scan the storage that is attached to the appliance. The Access software only uses the Data volumes to provision storage.
