7700 FSP Power Down and Power Up Sequences
This section provides two required procedures that describe the sequential order you must follow
when powering down or powering up the entire set of 7700 Flash Storage Platform storage cluster
system components.
Powering down or powering up all of the 7700 Flash Storage Platform system components is not
something done on any regular or routine basis. You would only perform the required procedural
sequence to power down or power up the 7700 FSP system components when the following types
of events occur:
•
There is site-wide maintenance being done on the data center power system.
•
All of the data center equipment is being physically moved to another location.
•
There is a serious loss of data center power due to a natural or civil disaster.
Note:
A best practice to remember when powering down and powering up 7700 FSP system
components is that the Brocade 6510 Fibre Channel switches should be the last of the devices
powered down and the first to be powered on, and that the 7700 FSP Controllers should be the first
devices powered off and the last to be powered on.
Required 7700 FSP Power Down Sequence
This section provides the required procedural sequence to perform when you need to power down
the entire 7700 FSP system and its components. To properly power down all 7700 FSP system
components, complete the following:
1.
Disable HA on each 7700 FSP Controller by using the following command:
For details, see “Enabling and Disabling HA Using CLI Commands” on page 167
2.
Log in as
root
and stop the Concerto software services on each 7700 FSP Controller by
issuing the following command:
3.
Log in as
root
and shut down the Concerto OS on each 7700 FSP Controller by issuing one
of the following commands:
•
# shutdown –h now
•
# halt
Note:
These alternate commands shut down the Concerto OS on each of the 7700 FSP
Controller.
4.
Disconnect the power source to power down each 7700 FSP Controller.
