Hardware installation scenarios for a NetBackup 5330 high availability configuration

The hardware installation procedures for a high availability (HA) configuration are slightly different from a non-HA installation. The differences are as follows:

  • Two NetBackup 5330 compute nodes with the same I/O hardware configurations are used.

  • Both nodes connect to each other using the NIC3/eth2 and NIC4/eth3 Ethernet ports.

  • Both nodes connect directly to the NetBackup 5330 Primary Storage Shelf.

Currently, you can deploy a NetBackup 5330 HA configuration through either of the following methods:

  • New deployment for an HA configuration

  • Converting existing systems to an HA configuration

The hardware installation scenarios are different for the two deployment methods. For detailed installation instructions for each deployment:
