LED
Description
Power On/Power Button
The power-on indicator lights when the system power is on.
When the system bezel is installed, the power button isn’t accessible.
HDD
Lights when the hard disk drive (HDD) is in use.
System Diagnostics (4)
The system is in a normal off condition or a possible pre-BIOS failure has occurred. Plug the system into a working electrical outlet and press the power button.
The diagnostic lights aren’t lit after the system successfully boots to the operating system.
The system is in a normal operating condition after POST.
BIOS checksum failure detected; system is in recovery mode. Contact Riverbed Support at
https://support.riverbed.com.

System Status
(On both the front and back panels) Lights blue when the system hardware is operating normally. Lights orange when the system needs attention due to a problem.
To determine the current status of the Management Console software, check the Management Console status bar.
System ID Button
(On both the front and back panels) Enables you to locate a system within a rack. When you push either of the buttons, the system status indicators on the front and back panels light blue until you push one of the buttons again.
SSD
Lights when the solid state drive (SSD) is in use.
LAN-WAN Ports
Link/Activity
Green = LAN or WAN link is up.
Blinks green = LAN or WAN link is active.
Disconnect
Green = LAN or WAN link is in disconnect mode.
Bypass
Green = LAN or WAN link is in bypass mode.

SteelHead EX hardware allocation
With SteelHead EX, part of the memory is dedicated to RiOS and part of the memory is dedicated to virtualization. The memory isn’t shared. CPU cores are dedicated to either RiOS or VSP. The processors aren’t shared.
The following table describes the hardware specifications for the xx60 series models. The “RAM, Available to VSP/ESXi” column in this table indicates the amount of available physical memory. Deploy virtual machines on ESXi in accordance with VMware Performance Best Practices for vSphere, which you can find at the following URL: http://www.vmware.com/pdf/Perf_Best_Practices_vSphere5.0.pdf.
Note: On April 1, 2014, the amount of memory shipped in EX1160 and EX1260 appliances increased. The following table displays the memory amounts for both the new models and the earlier versions. The models are identified by their orderable part number.

Note: This table indicates the SSD disk capacity available to the system. Disks in newer appliance models or replacement disks might be capable of a higher capacity (such as 100 GB instead of 80 GB or 200 GB instead of 160 GB), but the system still limits them to the capacity expected by the system and defined in this table.
Note: The RAM available to VSP/ESXi is the host physical memory available to vSphere. The memory available to guests is less. (ESXi uses approximately 2 GB of memory and the remainder is available for virtual machines.
VSP and SteelFusion storage specifications
The following table summarizes the following information:
•  Possible disk space allocations between VSP and SteelFusion on xx60 model appliances.
•  SteelFusion Input/Output Operations Per Second (IOPS) on xx60 model appliances.
You aren’t constrained by the VSP and SteelFusion disk allocation. You can use the local LUN feature on SteelFusion to allocate as much disk space as you want for the VM local datastore and use the rest for the SteelFusion block store. To do this, select SteelFusion Only mode. Then, set up a local LUN in that space for VSP, format it using VMFS, and add the VM datastore. (The VM datastore provides storage for VM files.) You can use the rest of the space for the SteelFusion block store.
Note: For optimal performance, we recommend direct storage and not iSCSI unless disk sizing flexibility is absolutely necessary.
Note: For SteelFusion-only allocations, the system reserves a small amount of disk space for VSP for local swap space.
Note: You need a SteelFusion license for SteelFusion-only allocations, for VSP-only allocations, and to access the disk space allocated for SteelFusion storage in a mixed allocation.
Numbers in parenthesis represent the maximum amount of space available for the component when the appliance’s disk layout is set to an extended mode. See Reclaiming disk space.
