* Flex 3340 Appliance software supports up to 960TiB (1,056TB) of usable MSDP storage capacity when using one
MSDP storage pool. When multiple MSDP storage pools are used, you can use the entire amount of usable storage
capacity for MSDP storage if desired. The total amount of usable storage capacity depends on the number of storage
shelves that are connected to the Flex compute node.
** For these storage shelf configurations, Veritas strongly recommends that you upgrade the memory capacity to
1.5TB, due to the increased resource requirements from updated MSDP encryption standards.
