Features and components of the Veritas 5250 Appliance

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

Table: Veritas 5250 Appliance features

Feature

Description

Processor

Two (2) Intel® Scalable 4214 2.2 GHz processors

Appliance software version

NetBackup Appliance 3.2 (revised) or above

Flex Appliance 2.0.1 or above

Note:

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 capacity

  • Supports 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 512GB

Note:

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 reduction

The deduplication engine provides up to 100 times reduction in storage. The client-side plug-in provides similar levels of bandwidth reduction.

Scalable architecture

Due 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 availability

Supports redundant hot-swappable disks and power modules.

RAID levels

RAID 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 6

Note:

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 support

The Veritas 5250 Appliance can be ordered with one, two, three or four PCIe 16 Gb Fibre Channel host bus adapter cards preinstalled.

PCie 10/25 Gb Ethernet cards

PCIe 10/25 Gb Ethernet cards with Fibre Optic ports are available.

Rear panel ports

See About the 5250 Appliance rear panel.

Additional storage

Yes

You 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.
