Note: RAID10 is also known as RAID 1+0. It combines disk mirroring and disk
striping to protect data.
Available appliance storage options
The Veritas 5360 Appliance compute nodes do not contain internal disk space on
which to store data. Instead, the 5360 Appliance uses the required Veritas 5U84
Primary Storage Shelf as the main data storage device. The 5U84 Primary Storage
Shelf connects to the 5360 Appliance compute nodes and uses RAID 6 drive sets
to protect the stored data.
Note: RAID 6 is also known as double-parity RAID. It uses two parity stripes on
each disk to protect data. RAID 6 allows for two hard disk failures within the RAID
disk array before any data is lost.
If additional data storage space is required, you can connect up to three optional
Veritas 5U84 Expansion Storage Shelves to the existing 5U84 Primary Storage
Shelf. The 5U84 Expansion Storage Shelves connect to the 5U84 Primary Storage
Shelf using SAS-3 data cables. After connecting the shelves, the disk drives in the
5U84 Expansion Storage Shelf use RAID 6 sets that are controlled by the 5U84
Primary Storage Shelf to protect the stored data.
Note: Veritas does not support mixing 4TB and 8TB disk drives within a storage
shelf.
