Automatic Restart When Power Is Restored - HP StorageWorks XP10000 Owner's Manual

Automatic restart when power is restored

CAUTION:
HP recommends the use of 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 configuring the disk array for manual restart, meaning the Auto-Power-On
jumper, which is set during installation by an HP support representative, is in the
DISABLE position. After a power outage, follow the preceding manual restart procedure
only after power has been restored and verified to be stable.
Automatic restart is enabled by your HP representative during installation. With
automatic restart enabled, the disk array automatically restarts and returns to service
when power is restored after a power outage.
During the automatic restart, the following LED power sequence occurs:
BS-ON turns amber.
PS-ON turns green.
MESSAGE LED may turn amber if the disk array is not configured to "phone home,"
signifying a SIM was generated because the disk array lost power unexpectedly.
READY LED turns green, signifying the system is ready.
CAUTION:
Powering on the disk array can take several minutes, depending on the number of disks
installed in the disk array. Power on is complete only when the READY LED turns green.
