Note: A NetBackup appliance high availability (HA) configuration must use two
identical appliances with regard to model number and hardware configuration.
For example, use two model 5330 appliances with configuration D. You cannot use
one model 5330 appliance with configuration D and one model 5340 appliance with
configuration D.
This requirement applies to all of the I/O configurations for each model.
