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 NetBackup 5340 Appliance compute node does not contain internal disk space
on which to store data. Instead, the NetBackup 5340 Appliance uses the Veritas
5U84 Primary Storage Shelf as the main data storage device. The 5U84 Primary
Storage Shelf connects to the NetBackup 5340 Appliance compute node and uses
RAID 6 disk array technology to protect the stored data.
Note:
RAID 6 is also known as double-parity RAID. It uses two parity stripes on
each disk to protect data. RAID 6 allows for two hard disk failures within the RAID
disk array before any data is lost.
When additional data storage space is required, Veritas offers the Veritas 5U84
Expansion Storage Shelf. The 5U84 Expansion Storage Shelf connects to the 5U84
Primary Storage Shelf using mini-SAS hard drive cables. Up to three 5U84
Expansion Storage Shelves can be connected to the 5U84 Primary Storage Shelf.
After they are connected, all 5U84 Expansion Storage Shelves receive RAID 6 data
protection through the 5U84 Primary Storage Shelf.

Note:
Veritas does not support mixing 4TB and 8TB disk drives within a storage
shelf.
