Do I Need to Perform these Procedures?
If you are reinstalling your system from scratch, or adding new storage devices,
you must perform these procedures.
If you are only upgrading an existing application installation without adding
new storage, skip to the next chapter for instructions on installing the software.
Powering Up Your Storage
Powering your system and storage up or down should be done in a proper
sequence. This ensures that the system functions properly.
WARNING An incorrect power up sequence can mean your system does not
recognize all drives.
NOTE If you are configuring a storage array with two sets of enclosures, connect
only one set of enclosures at this point, and then perform the filesystem creation
procedures in the next section. Then disconnect the storage, and repeat the entire
process for the second set of enclosures.
To power up your system:
1 Make sure your workstation is shut down.
2 Power up the XE expansion enclosures.
3 Power up the XR RAID controller enclosures.
4 Wait about 90 seconds for all the drives to spin up. Their lights are solid
green when they are spun up.
5 Power up your workstation.
To power down your system, shut down your workstation first, then the XR
RAID controller enclosures, and finally the XE expansion enclosures.
