Powering Off a Disk Shelf “Powering Off a Disk Shelf” on page 235 ■ “Powering On a Controller” on page 233 ■ Powering Off a Disk Shelf If a disk shelf is a part of a storage pool, powering off or removing all SAS chains from a disk shelf will trigger a kernel panic on the controller(s) to prevent data loss, unless the shelf is part of an NSPF (no single point of failure) data pool.
This section contains first-time configuration procedures for Oracle ZFS Storage Appliance. Follow these steps to complete first-time configuration: 1. Ensure you have completed cabling, including the serial or network cabling for Oracle ILOM connectivity, as described in “Cabling the Appliance” on page 219.
After the cluster is initialized, you can administer the system from either storage controller. However, do not attempt initial configuration on both controllers independently. Open a terminal or terminal emulator window and log in to Oracle ILOM in one of the following ways: For a serial connection (recommended), use as the user name.
