This section lists the steps required to power down the storage
system and the server. You must power down the server before you
power down the storage system.
To shut down the DL3D:
1. Access the Utilities page. See
2. Click Node Management.
3. On the Node Management page, click Shutdown.
4. Click Apply.
The DL3D server gracefully stops all running services and shuts
down.
To power down the storage system:
1. Stop all I/O activity to the SPE. Stopping the I/O allows the
storage processor (SP) to destage cache data, and may take some
time. The length of time depends on the size of the cache, the
amount of data in the cache, the type of data in the cache, and the
target location on the disks, but it is typically less than one
minute. We recommend that you wait five minutes before
proceeding.
2. After five minutes, use the power switch on each SPS to turn off
power. This disconnects power to the SPE and the first DAE (EA
0, bus 0). You do not need to turn off power to the other connected
DAEs.
CAUTION
!
Unless there is an emergency, never turn off the power to the rack,
such as the cabinet door switches, or unplug any of the AC cables
going to the SPE to disconnect power.
The storage system powers down within two minutes.
