NetBackup 5330 storage shelves and disk drives
The NetBackup 5330 compute node supports two types of external disk drive storage as follows:
Primary Storage Shelf - required
Expansion Storage Shelf - optional
Note:
A 220VAC power supply is required for the Primary Storage Shelf and the Expansion Storage Shelf.
Each NetBackup 5330 compute node requires one Primary Storage Shelf. You can install up to five expansion shelves to provide additional storage capacity. Refer to the NetBackup 5330 Appliance Product Description for supported storage capacities at the following website.
NetBackup Appliance documentation
Due to weight considerations, the storage shelves should be installed at or as close to the bottom of the rack as is possible. When the storage shelves and the compute node have been installed, the Fibre Channel (FC), SAS, and power cables are connected between the units. The FC cables connect the compute node to the Primary Storage Shelf. The SAS2 cables connect a Primary Storage Shelf to an Expansion Storage Shelf. When all connections are completed, turn on the storage shelves and the compute node to initialize and synchronize the units.
Note:
If more than one Expansion Storage Shelf is used, turn on the shelves furthest from the primary shelf first. Then turn on the expansion shelf that is connected to the primary shelf. Next, turn on the primary shelf. Finally, turn on the compute node.
To help reduce the weight of the units during installation, the disk drives are not factory-installed into the storage shelves. The disks are shipped in separate packages, with ten disks in each package. Six packages are required to fully populate each storage shelf. Each individual disk is wrapped in an anti-static bag. Disks must be installed into the storage shelves by opening the storage shelf drawers and inserting each disk into a slot. Best practices recommend that you start at the bottom drawer and move up. Insert the disks into the storage shelves one drawer at a time.
The drawers for each shelf are numbered from 1 to 5.
The disk slots in each drawer are numbered from 1 to 12 starting on the left front corner.
Three LEDs on the front of each drawer provide information about each column of three slots.
