RSP/VSP Slots

You can install one package per slot. By default, the RSP slots are numbered 1 to 5. However, Riverbed recommends changing slot names to meaningful, descriptive terms because RSP-enabled appliances can be remotely configured by the SCC. Meaningful names reduce the potential for confusion. Riverbed also recommends you give slots with identical VMs identical names to facilitate batch management.

When you install an RSP package you must select an RSP slot. A slot is a directory on disk. When you install a package into a slot, the system unpacks the VM into the directory. When you uninstall a VM from a slot, the system removes the VM and deletes the files from the slot. For details about creating an RSP package for a Windows Server, see the RSP Package Creation Guide
