Automatic Restart When Power Is Restored - HP StorageWorks XP12000 - Disk Array Owner's Manual

Automatic restart when power is restored

CAUTION:
As with all sophisticated electronic equipment, unstable power conditions during a
restart can cause problems. HP recommends automatic power on restart only if the
power to the disk array is subject to power conditioning equipment, such as a UPS, to
ensure that the power restored to the disk array is stable. If your site does not have a
UPS, HP recommends that the disk array be configured for manual restart, meaning
the POWER ENABLE switch on the control panel is in the DISABLE position. After a
power outage, follow the manual restart procedure only after power has been restored
and verified stable.
With automatic restart enabled, the disk array automatically restarts and returns to
service when power is restored.
During the automatic restart, the following LED power sequence occurs:
• BS-ON turns amber.
• PS-ON turns green.
• SUB-SYSTEM MESSAGE may turn amber if the disk array is not configured to
"phone home," signifying a SIM was generated because of the power outage.
• SUB-SYSTEM READY turns green, signifying the system is ready.
CAUTION:
Powering on the disk array can take up to 10 minutes and is complete only when
the SUB-SYSTEM READY LED turns green.
To enable automatic restart:
•
Move the AUTO PS-ON ENABLE/DISABLE switch to the ENABLE position.
