NetBackup 5330 appliance overview
The front panel of the appliance contains 12 disk drive slots. The slots are numbered
from zero (lower left slot) to 11 (upper right slot).
Disk drives in the NetBackup 5330 appliance include the following:
■ Eight 3TB SAS disks, which can be accessed from the NetBackup 5330
Appliance front panel. The disks are configured into two RAID 1 volumes, which
are labeled Volume 0 and Volume 1. The disks that are located in slot 0 and
slot 1 are configured as the RAID 1, Volume 0 device. This volume contains the
appliance operating system and the NetBackup application.
NetBackup 5330 appliance PCIe card configurations
■ The disks in slots 3 and 4 are configured as the RAID 1, Volume 1 device.
■ The appliance uses the disks that are located in slot 2 and slot 5 as hot-spare
disks. If a disk in either RAID volume experiences a hardware error, the appliance
automatically initiates a RAID rebuild operation. During the rebuild operation,
the appliance selects a hot-spare disk from slot 2 or slot 5, and then rebuilds
the RAID volume.
■ The disks in slots 6 and 7 are reserved for future use.
The rear panel of the appliance contains embedded ports and PCIe card slots.
The embedded ports include the following (with numbers associating the ports to
the items in the bulleted list):
■ Four 1Gb Ethernet ports (1)
■ One Video Graphics Array (VGA) port (2)
■ One serial port (for Symantec Technical Support use only) (3)
■ Three USB ports (4)
■ One Intelligent Platform Management Interface (IPMI) port for remote
management (5)
■ Two 10Gb Ethernet ports (6)

NetBackup 5330 storage shelves and disk drives
NetBackup 5330 storage shelves and disk drives
The NetBackup 5330 appliance supports two types of external disk drive storage
as follows:
■ Primary Storage Shelf
■ Expansion Storage Shelf
Each NetBackup 5330 appliance requires one Primary Storage Shelf. The Expansion
Storage Shelf provides additional storage capacity.
Due to weight considerations, the storage shelves should be installed at or as close
to the bottom of the rack as is possible. When the storage shelves and an appliance
have been installed, the Fibre Channel (FC), SAS, and power cables are connected
between the units. The FC cables connect the appliance to the Primary Storage
Shelf. The SAS cables connect a Primary Storage Shelf to an Expansion Storage
Shelf. When all connections are completed, turn on the storage shelves and the
appliance to initialize and synchronize the units.
To help reduce the weight of the units during installation, the disk drives are not
factory-installed into the storage shelves. The disks are shipped in separate
packages, with ten disks in each package. Six packages are required to fully
populate each storage shelf. Each individual disk is wrapped in an anti-static bag.
Disks must be installed into the storage shelves by opening the storage shelf drawers
and inserting each disk into a slot. Best practices recommend that you start at the
bottom drawer and move up. Insert the disks into one drawer at a time.
The drawers for each shelf are numbered from 1 to 5 starting at the top of the shelf.
13Hardware overview
The disk slots in each drawer are numbered from 1 to 12 starting at the left side of
the drawer.
NetBackup 5330 cables and connectors
Three LEDs on the front of the drawer provide information about each column of
three slots.
14Hardware overview
See “Installing disk drives into a Primary Storage Shelf or an Expansion Storage
Shelf ” on page 35.
NetBackup 5330 cables and connectors
The following types of cables and connectors are provided:
■ Power cords that connect each device to AC power distribution units (PDUs) in
the rack.
■ Fiber Channel (FC) cables that connect the appliance to the Primary Storage
Shelf.
■ SAS cables that connect the Primary Storage Shelf to the Expansion Storage
Shelf.
■ Small Form-factor Pluggable (SFP) modules for FC and 10Gb ports.
SFPs are factory-installed in the cards in the PCIe risers.
Understanding the NetBackup 5330 hardware installation sequence
Two SFPs are provided for use with the 10Gb ports on the rear panel of the
appliance.
In addition, you may need to obtain the following types of cables depending on the
I/O configuration of your appliance:
■ Ethernet cables between the 1Gb Ethernet and the 10Gb Ethernet ports on the
appliance rear panel and your network.
■ Ethernet cable between the Intelligent Program Management Interface (IPMI)
port on the appliance rear panel and your network for remote access to the
appliance.
■ Additional FC cables between the 8Gb FC HBA ports on the appliance rear
panel and your network for connection to tape or other devices.
Understanding the NetBackup 5330 hardware
installation sequence
To allow for easier installation and convenience for cabling between units, the
installation of the appliance and the storage shelves must be performed in a specific
sequence.
The recommended installation sequence is as follows:
■ Storage shelves
■ Expansion Storage Shelf - install in the lowest available 4RU rack space.
15Hardware overview
■ Primary Storage Shelf - install in the next available 4RU rack space above
the Expansion Storage Shelf.
The storage shelves are the heaviest units. They are physically very similar
and both use the same rail type for mounting. For easier installation, do not
install the disk drives until after the units are installed into the rack.
The estimated time to install one storage shelf is about 2.5 hours.
■ NetBackup 5330 appliance - install in the next available 2RU rack space above
the Primary Storage Shelf.
The estimated time to install one appliance is about 1.25 hours.
Table 1-3 describes the installation steps and includes a link to the specific procedure
for that step.

About IPMI configuration
The Intelligent Platform Management Interface (or IPMI) provides management and
monitoring capabilities independently of the host system's CPU, firmware, and
operating system. You can configure the IPMI sub-system for your appliances. The
IPMI sub-system can be connected by using the remote management port, located
on the rear panel of the appliance.
The following figure shows the remote management port (or the IPMI port) on the
rear panel of a 5330 appliance:
The IPMI is beneficial after an unexpected power outage shuts down the connected
system. In case the appliance is not accessible after the power is restored, you can
use a laptop or desktop computer to access the appliance remotely by using a
network connection to the hardware rather than to an operating system or login

shell. This enables you to control and monitor the appliance even if it is powered
down, unresponsive, or without any operating system.
The following diagram illustrates how IPMI works:
18Hardware overview
Some of the main uses of IPMI are the following:
■ Manage an appliance that is powered off or unresponsive. Using the IPMI, you
can power on, power off, or restart the appliance from a remote location.
■ Provides out-of-band management and help manage situations where local
physical access to the appliance is not possible or preferred like branch offices
and remote data center.
■ In case the appliance is not accessible using regular network interfaces, you
can access the NetBackup Appliance Shell Menu remotely using IPMI.
Note: Only the NetBackup Appliance Shell Menu can be accessed by using the
IPMI interface. The NetBackup Appliance Web Console cannot be accessed
by using the IPMI interface.
■ Reimage the appliance from the IPMI interface by using ISO redirection.
■ Monitor hardware health of the appliance from a remote location.
■ Avoid messy cabling and hardware like keyboard, monitor, and mouse (KVM)
solutions.

Determining rack locations for NetBackup 5330 hardware
Determining rack locations for NetBackup 5330
hardware
The height of the appliance and the storage shelves require a different rack unit
(RU) space. The appliance needs 2RU rack space and each storage shelf needs
4RU.
To help you identify RU spacing, many rack manufacturers typically use a system
of lines and sequential numbers starting at the bottom of the rack. The front and
the rear of the rack are marked the same to ensure that the rails are installed straight
and level.
One RU has three holes. The holes for one RU are typically marked with a line
below the bottom hole and another line above the top hole. A number at the center
hole identifes where the RU appears in the rack.
Figure 3-1 shows the markings as described.
26Hardware installation procedures
Figure 3-1
Best practices for hardware installation are as follows:
■ When you install the rails, be sure to use complete RUs. Do not use holes from
different RUs.
■ The storage shelves are much heavier than the appliance and should be installed
as close to the bottom of the rack as possible.
■ The appliance should always be installed above the storage shelves.
Rack RU space markings
Installing a Primary Storage Shelf or an Expansion Storage Shelf
■ Do not leave any spaces between the appliance and a storage shelf, or between
two storage shelves.
To determine rack locations for the hardware
Determine the total number of rack units (RUs) that you need as follows:
1
■ Appliance (2RU) and Primary Storage Shelf (4RU)
Systems that contain these two units require a total of six RUs.
■ Appliance (2RU), Primary Storage Shelf (4RU), Expansion Storage Shelf
(4RU)
Systems that contain these three units require a total of ten RUs.
Record the rack positions to help you locate them easily when mounting the
2
hardware.
See “Installing a Primary Storage Shelf or an Expansion Storage Shelf” on page 27.
Installing a Primary Storage Shelf or an Expansion
Storage Shelf
This installation procedure can be used for either storage shelf. For the systems
that include an Expansion Storage Shelf, install that unit first followed by the Primary
Storage Shelf.
There must be a minimum depth of 76 cm (30 in.) between the front of the rack and
the rear of the rack.
