Veritas 5250 Appliance overview
The Veritas 5250 Appliance is a hardware and software storage system that can scale to 429.4 TiB of available backup capacity. It consists of a Veritas 5250 Appliance and up to six optional Veritas 2U12 65.5TiB/72TB storage shelves. By itself, the 2U Veritas5250 Appliance offers internal storage from 9.1 TiB to 36.4 TiB, depending on the appliance configuration purchased.
A Veritas 2U12 65 B storage shelf offers 65.5 TiB of storage. Attaching six storage shelves offers 429.4 TiB of storage. As with previous generations of the NetBackup 52xx appliances, the Veritas 5250 Appliance can be configured as a primary server or a media server. It can also be configured as both. The 5250 Appliance supports S Series and D Series storage shelves or a combination of both types of shelves.
See Usable appliance storage capacities.
See Veritas Appliance Hardware Get Started Documents
SAS-3 cables connect the Veritas 5250 Appliance to the storage shelves. SAS-3 cables also connect the storage shelves to each other.
The Veritas 5250 Appliance supports the following software:
NetBackup Appliance software release 3.2 (revised) and above
Note:
This model uses a revised version of software release 3.2. This revised software version contains specific support for the 5250 hardware and the related software functionality that is not included in the previous 3.2 release. The minimum supported software version for the 5250 appliance is the revised 3.2 version that is shipped with each unit. If a re-image is ever necessary, you must use the revised 3.2 software version.
Flex Appliance 2.0.1 and above
To determine the right Veritas 5250 Appliance system for your environment, you should consider the environment's future storage requirements over the lifetime of the system.
Veritas offers multiple I/O configurations from which to choose. You can use the supported Veritas 5250 Appliance I/O configurations to best serve the needs of your particular environment.
These configurations include the following:
One Veritas 5250 Appliance with 9.1 TiB of internal storage only
One Veritas 5250 Appliance with 36.4 TiB of internal storage only
One Veritas 5250 Appliance with up to six external 65.5TiB/72TB storage shelves for a total of 429.4 TiB of storage
If your environment requires more than 36TiBs of storage, consider the Veritas 5250 Appliance with 9.1TiBs of internal storage and one 65.5TiB/72TB Veritas 2U12 65.5TiB/72TB Storage Shelf. If more storage is required, you can add up to five additional 65.5TiB/72TB storage shelves to this configuration.
