Some SGI systems may require you to use the System Maintenance Menu to start the
system.
To connect the disk array:
1. Before connecting the disk array, you must shut down and power off the SGI server
and all peripheral devices.
a. Shut down the SGI system as usual. For example, enter
shutdown –y –g0 –i0
b. When shutdown is complete, power off the SGI display.
c. Power off all peripheral devices.
d. Power off the SGI system.
2. Connect the disk array to the SGI system.
The HP service representative installs the SCSI or Fibre Channel cables between
the disk array and the SGI system. Be sure that SCSI terminators are installed as
required.
The HP service representative must use the disk array maintenance manual during
all installation activities. Follow all precautions and procedures in the
maintenance manual, and always check all specifications to ensure proper
installation and configuration.
3. Power on the SGI system and its peripheral devices.
a. Power on the SGI system display.
b. Power on all peripheral devices. The disk array must already be on, the host
modes must already be set, and the Fibre Channel ports must already be
configured. If the host modes or Fibre Channel ports are configured after the
SGI system is powered on, the system must be restarted.
c. Confirm the ready status of all devices.
