Powering On The Msa - HP StorageWorks 1510i - Modular Smart Array User Manual

Powering on the MSA

1. Verify that the following devices are powered on and in a ready state:
• Uninterruptible Power Supplies (UPS)
• Network switches
2.
Power on all attached hard drive storage enclosures.
IMPORTANT:
Proceed to the next step only after confirming that the external storage enclosures have completed their
startup routines; otherwise, the MSA array may not properly discover the storage.
3. Press and release Power On/Standby button on the front of the chassis to start up the MSA array.
The LED on the Power On/Standby button changes from amber to solid green, indicating that the
MSA has been powered on.
4.
Wait for the MSA array to complete its startup routine. When complete, the LCD will display
Startup Complete. This can take up to three minutes, depending on your configuration.
NOTE:
In dual-controller configurations, each time the MSA is restarted, firmware on the two
controllers is compared. If the versions are mismatched, the system prompts to clone the
firmware on the controller with the latest version (higher number) over to the controller with
the earlier version (lower number) firmware. The following message is displayed on the LCD
panel of the controller with the earlier firmware:
07 CLONE FIRMWARE? '<' = NO, '>' = YES
Press the > button on the LCD panel to clone the firmware. (In dual-controller configurations,
the firmware on the controllers must be the same version.)
5. Press the ^ and v buttons on the LCD panel of each MSA controller to review the startup messages
and look for the following message:
Startup Complete
IMPORTANT:
Proceed to the next step only after the Startup Complete message is displayed. If you
power on (or restart) the server before the MSA array completes its startup sequence, the
server may not properly discover the storage.
6.
Power on (or restart) the servers with access to the MSA, start the operating system, and log on
as a user with administrative control.
7.
Verify that each device in the network is operating properly.
