Flex 5250 Appliance
The 5250 appliance and storage shelves provide storage capacity in several
configurations. You can use the appliance by itself to achieve 9.1TiB to 36.4TiB of
usable capacity. You can add storage shelves to any appliance to further increase
the storage capacity. The 5250 Appliance supports S Series and D Series storage
shelves or a combination of both types of shelves.
You can add up to six Veritas 2U12 65.5TiB/72TB Storage Shelves to an existing
5250 Appliance. 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 amount of usable storage space may fluctuate,
depending on how much storage space the MSDP data pool presently uses.
Refer to the Veritas 5250 Appliance Product Description Guide at the following site
for details about usable storage options.
