disk enclosures first, followed by the controller enclosure. Failure to follow the
proper sequence may result in the host not recognizing LUNs on the disk
array.
1. Ensure all power cables are connected to the controller enclosure and disk enclosures.
2. Power up the disk array in the following sequence:
a. Power up all the disk enclosures. Wait approximately two minutes for all disk
enclosure activity to complete.
b. Power up the controller enclosure.
c. Wait for five minutes. During this period the array will discover the new
configuration. It is important that the array be allowed complete the discovery
process.
3. Check for any disk faults. If a disk fault occurs, remove the disk, wait for at least 15
seconds, then reinsert the disk. The disk array controller should clear the fault on the
disk once it has spun up.
If the disk fault will not clear, it may be necessary to replace the disk. If a new
