Information in this document applies to any platform.

Goal

This document describes how to gracefully power down and power up a Sun StorEdge[TM], Sun StorageTek[TM], and Sun Storage[TM] array in the event that the array needs to be physically moved to a new location or at the instruction of a technical support representative to help resolve a technical issue.

For illustrations and complete details, please refer to the Hardware Installation Guide for your specific platform.

Solution

Powering Off the Array

These steps must be followed in the exact order to prevent data corruption.

  1. Stop all I/O from the hosts, if connected, to the storage system.
  2. Wait approximately 2 minutes until all disk drive LEDs have stopped flashing.

    • If the array has a Cache Active LED (refer to the Array Hardware Installation Guide), go to Step 3.
    • If the array does not have a Cache Active LED, go to Step 5.

  3. Check the Cache Active LED on the controller to determine if any outstanding cache needs to be written.

    • If the LED is on, there is still data that needs to be flushed and written to disk.

  4. Ensure that the Cache Active LED is no longer flashing.
  5. Press each power switch on the back of the controller tray to the OFF position.
  6. Press the power switches on the back of each expansion tray to the OFF position.


Powering On the Array

These steps must be followed in the exact order to prevent data corruption.

  1. Turn on the cabinet circuit breakers, if applicable.
  2. Press the power switches on the back of each expansion tray to the ON position.
  3. Wait 2 minutes, then press each power switch on the back of the controller tray to the ON position.

    • Depending on your configuration, it could take up to 3 minutes to complete the power-on sequence.

  4. Check the status of each tray.

    • The green OK/Power LEDs on each drive are steady on.
    • The green OK/Power LED on the controller tray is steady on.
    • If applicable, the controller displays the correct tray ID (default 85 or 99 depending on model/firmware)
