Managing appliances
The Appliances page lists all appliances associated with the currently selected company and includes this information about each appliance.
Some features are available only for appliances hosted in AWS and deployed directly through the portal.
Name displays the user-configurable appliance name. This name is specific to the Cloud Portal; it might not appear in a cloud vendor’s management tool (such as the Amazon EC2 Management Console) because the vendor might not support such metadata.
Cloud indicates the cloud service or platform on which the appliance is hosted.
License displays the Riverbed license associated with the appliance.
State indicates the current state of the appliance or its license or both.
VM Uptime displays the duration for which the appliance has been running.
Creation Time indicates date and time when the appliance was provisioned.
Description displays the user-configurable description entered when the appliance was created.
You can view information about and perform simple management operations on specific appliances directly through the portal by selecting the name of an appliance listed on the Appliances page.
You can also manage your Cloud Accelerator virtual appliances through the SteelCentral Controller for SteelHead. See the SteelCentral Controller for SteelHead User Guide for details.
