Powering Off Procedures For Powerstore Appliances; Power Off A Powerstore T Model Appliance - Dell EMC PowerStore 1000 Installation And Service Manual

NOTE: Do not power off or reboot a node, if the peer node is not operating normally. If the peer node is experiencing any
major issues, associated alerts and events appear in PowerStore Manager.
Also, to avoid service interruptions, ensure that there are sufficient and healthy paths from all connected hosts to the peer
node.
About this task
Use the following procedure to reboot a PowerStore X model node:
Steps
1. Log in to the associated vCenter server.
2. If there are user VMs that are not configured for automatic migration to the ESXi host of the peer node, migrate them
manually.
NOTE: vSPHERE Remote Office Branch Office Advanced does not support automatic migration.
3. If there are user VMs that cannot migrate to the ESXi host of the peer node, shut them down manually.
4. Place the ESXi host for the node in Maintenance Mode.
VMware DRS starts to migrate user VMs to the ESXi host of the peer node, and then the PowerStore controller VM is
powered off.
5. Monitor and ensure that all relevant user VMs migrate over to the ESXi host of the peer node.
6. Once all VMs are migrated over and node goes into Maintenance Mode, reboot the ESXi host using vCenter commands.
7. Monitor the vCenter server console to ensure that the ESXi host has rebooted, and then exit the ESXi host from
Maintenance Mode.
The controller VM powers on automatically.
8. Monitor the vCenter server console to ensure that the ESXi host and controller VM have returned to normal operation.
