Attached Storage Installation
Introduction
A Fibre Channel Host Bus Adapter (FC HBA) installed on a Riverbed Cascade® Profiler appliance enables
access to a Storage Area Network (SAN) device as if it were a local SCSI disk. The software components,
driver and command line tools are pre-installed on the Profiler appliance. However, they have to be
configured after the FC HBA card is installed and the SAN device is attached.
If you are installing FC HBA cards in an Enterprise Profiler appliance, complete the hardware installation
described below for the Analysis Module and any Expansion Modules that are present. Then complete
the software installation procedure, which begins with the "Preparing to configure the software" section
on page 11, on each module, one at a time.
Hardware installation
To install the SAN card in a model xx60 Profiler appliance,
1. Remove the top cover of the chassis. The cover is secured by a screw on the side and two
knurled nobs on the back.

  • Page 12 The Profiler appliance utilizes only one LUN for storing logs. Any additional LUNs assigned are ignored for the normal operation of the appliance. Although it is possible to utilize additional disk space for other purposes such as backup, that is beyond the scope of this document. Please consult with Riverbed Professional Services for guidance.
