The appliance serial number is also located on a plastic pull-out tab directly above
the front disk drives.
Compute node disk drive configurations
The Veritas 5350 Appliance compute node contains three 1.92 TB SATA SSDs.
Each SSD is accessible from the compute node's front panel. An embedded RAID
controller on the compute node's mainboard configures two of the three SATA SSDs
into a RAID1 volume.
The two RAID1 volumes contain the appliance operating system, the operating
system swap file, the NetBackup application, and the logs. You can hot-swap one
of these disk drives at a time if a drive becomes problematic. However, you cannot
operate the appliance if both disk drives are removed.
The disk drives in slot 1 and slot 2 are configured as RAID1 with slot 3 as the hot
spare. If a disk drive in the RAID volume experiences a hardware error, the appliance
automatically initiates a RAID rebuild operation. During the rebuild operation, the
appliance dynamically accesses the hot-spare disk and uses it to rebuild the RAID
volume.
