Shutting Down and Restarting an Array

A PS6010 array includes redundant, hot-swappable disk drives, power supplies,
and control modules (in a dual control module array). You can remove a
redundant component without affecting operation if a functioning component is
available. Otherwise, it is recommended that you cleanly shut down the array and
turn off power before removing a component.
Note: When an array is shut down, any volumes with data on the array will be
set offline until the array is successfully restarted. This may affect
initiators that are connected to the volumes.
1. Do one of the following:
• Use telnet or SSH to connect to a functioning IP address assigned to a
network interface on the array. Do not connect to the group IP address.
• Use the null modem cable shipped with the array to connect to Serial
Port 0 on the active control module (ACT LED is green) to a console or a
computer running a terminal emulator.
Make sure the serial line characteristics are as follows:
- 9600 baud
- One STOP bit
