Usable appliance storage capacities
Note:
All the storage on the head node and shelves are included in the licensed storage capacity and require entitlement.
Table: Usable storage capacities - Veritas 5250 Appliance and Veritas 2U12 65.5TiB/72TB Storage Shelves
Appliance only | Storage shelf capacity | Appliance and one storage shelf | Appliance and two storage shelves | Appliance and three storage shelves | Appliance and four storage shelves | Appliance and five storage shelves | Appliance and six storage shelves |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
10TB (9.1TiB) | 72TB (65.5TiB) | 82TB (74.6 TiB) | 154TB (140.1 TiB) | 226TB (205.6 TiB) | 298TB (271.1TiB) | 370TB (336.6TiB) | 442TB (402.1TiB) |
40TB* (36.4TiB) | 72TB (65.5TiB) | 112TB (101.9TiB) | 184TB (167.4TiB) | 256TB (232.9TiB) | 328TB (292.4TiB) | 400TB 363.9TiB) | 472TB (429.4TiB) |
Note:
Usable storage capacities are rounded values. Veritas calculates these values from the raw storage capacities of the various Veritas 5250 Appliance-only configurations. The raw capacity of the Veritas 2U12 65.5TiB/72TB Storage Shelf is 65.5 tebibyte. To determine the exact usable capacities of each configuration, use the following formulas: <appliance-only capacity> + 65.5 = exact usable capacity
* You can add up to six Storage Shelves to an existing Veritas 5250 Appliance with internal storage capacities of 9.1TiB or 36.4TiB. However, before you place the system into a production environment, you must migrate all MSDP data from the appliance to the first external storage shelf. After you migrate the MSDP data, the system's usable storage space may fluctuate, depending on how much actual storage space the MSDP data pool uses.
A 256GB memory upgrade kit is available for purchase when adding the first 2U12 65.5TiB/72TB Storage Shelf, which replaces all existing DIMM modules in the appliance. Contact your Veritas account representative for details.
Note:
Spanning MSDP data across both Veritas 5250 Appliance internal storage and a storage shelf is not recommended as it may result in degraded performance.
Warning:
Failure to migrate MSDP data after you connect a storage shelf may result in degraded appliance throughput performance.
For more information about migrating MSDP data, see the following document: Moving the MSDP partition from a base disk to an expansion disk for optimum performance.
