We have a 5230 model A (without FC connectivity). Is it possible to purchase additional FC HBA? I know it is QLE-2562, but we do not see any corresponding SKU in price list. I just want to know whether someone already installed additional HBAs into appliances.
yes, this one I found. I am a little bit confused with the "5X00" in description, this looks like it is for 5200 and 5000, but these appliances used 4Gb FC, so it should be correct. Nevetherless I asked Veritas support for clarification.
Yes you can add FC cards to a 5230, but it has to be done in specific configurations to maintain supportability. Your Veritas partner or Veritas sales team has all the details on supported configs.
