Appliance 5240 Second Storage Installation

Hello Dears,

I have a question about the installation of a second storage shelf on veritas Appliance 5240.

In my current scenario, I have one Appliance 5240 with just one Storage Shelf connected to him.I would like add more two storages shelfs and I have found the procedure how can I do It, but my doubt is if I must shutdown the appliance and the storage shelf before to recable the additional shelfs, or if I can do it wthout power off the appliance.


Many thanks.

 

 

  • hey

    Whenever I was doing so I did power off the NBU app which was expanded.

    And I did find this -> https://www.veritas.com/content/support/en_US/doc/110609725-121757986-0/v120896932-121757986

    excerpt below:

    Additional storage shelf scenarios

    You can have up to six storage shelves with the NetBackup 5240 Appliance. You may already have storage shelves connected to your appliance. The following options are available.

    • If you already have one storage shelf you can add one to five shelves.

    • If you already have two storage shelves you can add one to four shelves.

    • If you already have three storage shelves you can add one to three shelves.

    • If you already have four storage shelves you can add one or two shelves.

    • If you already have five storage shelves you can add one shelf.

    If you already have six storage shelves you cannot add any more shelves at this time.

    Note:

    The appliance server needs to be powered off when adding any storage shelves to an existing appliance installation.
