About this task
Use the following procedure to power on a PowerStore X model appliance:
Steps
1. If applicable, reconnect the power cables to each associated expansion enclosure in an ascending order, such as the following:
•
Expansion enclosure 0
•
Expansion enclosure 1
•
Expansion enclosure 2
The power status LEDs on each expansion enclosure turns on when the power cable is connected.
2. Reconnect the power cables to each node in the following order:
•
Node A
•
Node B
The Node Power LEDs on both nodes turn on when a power cable is connected to either node. ESXi hosts for both the nodes power
on in Maintenance Mode.
3. Log in to the associated vCenter server, and exit the ESXi host for the node A from Maintenance Mode.
Wait for the task to complete.
4. In vCenter server, right-click the controller VM for node A, and power it on.
NOTE:
The node can take around 10-15 minutes to power on.
5. In a web browser, try accessing PowerStore Manager for the cluster, and wait for the login prompt to appear.
6. Exit the ESXi host for the node B from Maintenance Mode.
Wait for the task to complete. Controller VM for node B automatically gets restarted.
7. Power on user VMs on the ESXi hosts for both nodes.
8. Verify that the PowerStore X model cluster is operating normally in both vCenter server and PowerStore Manager.
Powering off procedures for PowerStore cluster
This section includes the following procedures:
•
Power off a PowerStore T model cluster
•
Power off a PowerStore X model cluster
Power off a PowerStore T model cluster
Prerequisites
Obtain the following information:
•
Management IP address of the cluster
•
Service account credentials
•
Site ID
•
Service tags of the appliances, and if applicable, the associated expansion enclosures
About this task
Use the following procedure to power off (power down) a PowerStore T model cluster. Powering off a cluster results in the mapped hosts
losing access to the data on the appliance. The relevant prompts display the workloads that are affected.
NOTE:
When the cluster is powered off, you have no access to the GUI, API, or CLI interfaces. Print the power on
instructions to ensure that you have the information you require to power on the cluster in a specific order. You can also
find these instructions on www.dell.com/powerstoredocs.
