Document - HPE 3PAR StoreServ 8000 Storage - Power Off-On Procedure

The document provides instructions for safely powering off and on an HPE 3PAR StoreServ 8000 storage system. It describes shutting down the system using the SPOCC or SPMAINT interfaces before powering off individual nodes and power distribution units. When powering back on, the instructions are to power on the drive enclosures and nodes before verifying LED statuses. The document also explains how to lower vertically mounted power distribution units by removing mounting screws to access the storage system.

Powering on/off the storage


system

The following describes how to power the storage system on and off.
WARNING! Do not power off the system unless a service procedure requires the system to be
powered off. Before you power off the system to perform maintenance procedures, first verify with
a system administrator. Powering off the system will result in loss of access to the data from all
attached hosts.
Powering Off
Before you begin, unmount volumes exported from the StoreServ from all hosts, or shutdown all
hosts that have volumes provisioned from the StoreServ. Next, use either SPOCC or the SPMAINT
interface to shut down and power off the system. For information about SPOCC, see 'Service
Processor Onsite Customer Care' in the maintenance guide.
NOTE: PDUs in any expansion cabinets connected to the storage system might need to be shut
off. Use the locatesys command to identify all connected cabinets before shutting down the
system. The locatesys command flashes the LEDs for all node and drive enclosures.
The system can be shutdown before powering off by any of the following three methods:
- Using SPOCC:
1. Select StoreServ Product Maintenance.

2. Select Halt a StoreServ cluster/node.

3. Follow the prompts to shutdown a cluster. Do not shut down individual Nodes.

4. Turn off power to the node PCMs.

5. Turn off power to the drive enclosure PCMs.

6. Turn off all PDUs in the rack.


- Using the SPMAINT interface:

1. From the 3PAR Service Processor Menu, enter 4 for StoreServ Product Maintenance.

2. Select Halt a StoreServ Cluster/Node.

3. Follow the prompts to shutdown a cluster. Do not shut down individual Nodes.

4. Turn off power to the node PCMs.

5. Turn off power to the drive enclosure PCMs.

6. Turn off all PDUs in the rack.


- Using CLI Directly on the Controller Node if the SP is Inaccessible

1. Enter shutdownsys halt. Confirm all prompts.


CAUTION: Failure to wait until all controller nodes are in a halted state can cause thesystem to
view the shutdown as uncontrolled. The system will undergo a check-state whenpowered on if

the nodes are not fully halted before power is removed and can seriouslyimpact host access to
data.

2. Allow 2-3 minutes for the node to halt, then verify that the node Status LED is flashing green
and the node hotplug LED is blue, indicating that the node has been halted.

3. Turn off power to the node PCMs.

4. Turn off power to the drive enclosure PCMs.

5. Turn off all PDUs in the rack.


Powering On
1. Set the circuit breakers on the PDUs to the ON position.

2. Set the switches on the power strips to the ON position.

3. Power on the drive enclosure PCMs.

4. Power on the node enclosure PCMs.

5. Verify the status of the LEDs.


Disengaging the PDU Pivot Brackets To access the vertically mounted power distribution units
(PDU) or servicing area, the PDUs can be lowered out of the rack.
1. Remove the two top mounting screws.

2. Pull down on the PDU to lower.


NOTE: If necessary, loosen the two bottom screws to easily pull down the PDU.

3. Ensure the PDUs are in a fully lowered position before accessing.
