Rebooting a SP assembly into Normal Mode

Prerequisites
Ensure that the replacement I/O module, embedded module, or 4-port card has been correctly installed using Unisphere. The
replaced part's status indicates that the module is powered off and will power on during the next system reboot.
About this task
Reboot the recently serviced SP assembly into Normal Mode using the procedure that follows:
Steps
1. Open Unisphere and select Service, then Service Tasks.
2. Under the name of the storage processor where you installed the new I/O module, embedded module, or 4-port card, select
Reboot and click Execute.
3. When prompted, type the Service Password to put the SP assembly into Normal Mode.
It may take up to 15 minutes for the system to complete its reboot to return to normal mode.

Committing the new I/O ports

About this task
You must commit the new I/O ports before they can be used.
Steps
1. In Unisphere, select System View.
2. Select the DPE and select Commit IO Ports.
NOTE:
Committing I/O ports requires multiple reboots of the SPs and may take up to an hour to complete. You can
find I/O ports commit and SP reboot status details on Service > Logs. During these reboots you will temporarily lose
Unisphere connectivity.
After this process completes, the new I/O ports have been successfully committed into the system.
If the commit of the new I/O ports fails, please wait 15 minutes for the system to fully boot and then re-attempt the commit
process.
