Supported Fibre Channel port configurations for
the NetBackup 53xx appliances
Note: Before you start configuring a particular FC feature on the appliance, make
sure that it is supported with your appliance HBA configuration.
See “About Fibre Channel feature support with appliance HBA configurations”
on page 14.
The NetBackup 53xx appliance contains six populated PCIe card slots. Each slot
contains either a Fibre Channel (FC) HBA card or an Ethernet card.
