NetBackup 5330 Appliance compute node PCIe slot I/O configuration options

The rear panel of the NetBackup 5330 Appliance compute node contains six PCIe slots that are numbered 1 to 6. Slots 1, 2, and 3 are located in PCIe Riser Assembly 2. Slots 4, 5, and 6 are located in PCIe Riser Assembly 1.

PCIe slots are populated with one of the following cards:

  • 16Gb Fibre Channel (FC) host bus adapter (HBA) card

  • 8Gb Fibre Channel (FC) host bus adapter (HBA) card

  • 10Gb Ethernet network interface card (NIC)

Slots 1 and 4 are reserved exclusively for attachment to the Primary Storage Shelf.

For complete information about FC HBA card usage, see the NetBackup Appliance Fibre Channel Guide.

Table: Available PCIe slot I/O configuration options for the NetBackup 5330 Appliance compute node describes the default PCIe slot I/O configuration options for the NetBackup 5330 Appliance.

Note:

A NetBackup appliance high availability (HA) configuration must use two identical appliances with regard to model number and hardware configuration.

For example, use two model 5330 appliances with configuration D. You cannot use one model 5330 appliance with configuration D and one model 5340 appliance with configuration D.

This requirement applies to all of the I/O configurations for each model.
