The SteelHead fails to boot.
Ensure that the power strip or the uninterruptable power supply (UPS)
the SteelHead is plugged into is turned on and is functioning properly.
Your SteelHead does not boot and is
beeping, which can be due to a RAID
error or a failed power supply.
First, determine whether the cause of the beeping and failure to boot is a
RAID error.
To determine if there is a boot failure
1. Use a keyboard and monitor to connect to the SteelHead.
2. Run the
megamgr
utility to check for a hard disk failure.
3. If there is a single hard disk failure on a SteelHead, you can use the
extra hard disk in slot 12 to replace the failed disk. For assistance, or
if there is a hard disk failure on more than one disk in a SteelHead or
on any other SteelHead model, contact Riverbed Support at https://
support.riverbed.com.
If the beeping and failure to boot are not caused by a RAID error, they
could be due to a defective power supply. For assistance, contact
Riverbed Support.
