Managing Domains
Powering ON the Domain
Once connected to the Customer’s site power supply, the server initializes to the stand–by
mode and the integrated PAP unit powers up.
The server is not equipped with a physical power button and is powered up from the
Domain Manager Control pane of the PAM Web–based software installed on the PAP unit.
Check server functional status via the PAM Status Pane. If functional status is normal and
the CSS Availability bar is green, the server can be powered up.
Note:
If a minor fault is present, the server may still be powered up. However, you are advised to
contact your Customer Service Engineer so that the fault can be repaired.
To power up the domain:
1. Click Domain Manager to open the Control pane. If the server domain is in the stand–by
mode, INACTIVE is displayed in the Domain Status panel and the Power ON button is
accessible.
Important:
If INACTIVE is not displayed in the Domain Status panel and the Power ON button is
not accessible, check whether another user has already launched the power–up
sequence. If the power–up sequence is not already in progress, see What To Do if an
Incident Occurs, on page 3-11.
2. Click Power ON to power up the domain and associated hardware components. As the
power–on sequence progresses, the Power Sequence icons sequentially light up to
display current status and the corresponding domain state is displayed in the Domain
Status panel.
For guidance,the following table indicates the five power–on steps and corresponding
domain states.
