The 5U84 Primary Storage Shelf and the 5U84 Expansion Storage Shelf each use
a 5U chassis. Each chassis contains two sliding disk drive drawers that are located
in the front of the storage shelf. Each drawer holds 42 Disk Drive In Carrier (DDIC)
modules. The DDIC modules are installed in the drive drawer slots, which hold a
total of 84 disk drives. Each DDIC module holds SAS3, 7200 rpm hard disk drives,
in either 4TB or 8TB capacities. The disk drives and the DDIC modules are
hot-swappable and can be replaced on-site while the storage shelf is operational.
Note:
Whether you use 4TB or 8TB disk drives in the storage shelves, each storage
shelf drawer must be populated with disk drives of the same capacities.
In each storage shelf, two disk drives are used as global hot spares. Four of the
disk drives provide storage space for a dedicated RAID 10 metadata volume group.
When 4TB disk drives are used, the storage shelf provides 7.27TBs of metadata
storage capacity. When 8TB disk drives are used, the storage shelf provides
15.75TBs of metadata storage capacity. The remaining disks are configured in a
storage group that uses RAID 6 disk array technology. These disks are used for
MSDP and AdvancedDisk data storage purposes. Depending on the storage
configuration you purchase, the NetBackup 5340 Appliance storage system supports
up to 1,920TBs of usable data storage space.
Note:
RAID10 is also known as RAID 1+0. It combines disk mirroring and disk
striping to protect data.
Available appliance storage options
The Veritas 5340 Appliance compute nodes do not contain internal disk space on
which to store data. Instead, the 5340 Appliance uses the required Veritas 5U84
Primary Storage Shelf as the main data storage device. The 5U84 Primary Storage
Shelf connects to the 5340 Appliance compute nodes and uses RAID 6 drive sets
to protect the stored data.
