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.
