10. SAN installation
This section describes the hardware installation of a Fibre Channel Host Bus
Adapter (FC HBA) in a Profiler.
Safety Notice
Hardware installation involves accessing the inside of the Profiler chassis. To
reduce the risk of personal injury or equipment damage, observe the chassis
hardware manufacturer’s safety warnings and cautions, which are provided in the
documentation kit shipped with the Profiler.
Introduction
The Fibre Channel Host Bus Adapter (FC HBA) enables Riverbed Cascade™
Profiler to access remote storage on a Storage Area Network (SAN) device as if it
were a local SCSI disk. This requires you to configure your FC switches or SAN
storage devices as necessary to allow connections from Profiler and to assign
storage resources to the Profiler.
Software configuration requires guidance from Riverbed Support. It is not
necessary to configure the software at the time that the hardware is installed. All
other Profiler features will function normally without the software for the SAN
interface being configured. However, the software must be configured and a SAN
device connection must be available in order to verify the installation and
operation of this option.
Installation involves the following steps:
1.
Unpack and inspect the hardware
2.
Prepare to install the hardware
3.
Install the FC HBA card
4.
Prepare to configure the software
5.
Contact Riverbed Support for guidance on configuring software
Unpacking and inspection
1.

2.

Support before continuing.
