Storage system s
hutdo wn and pow erup
The storage sys
tem is shut down using HP Command View EVA. The shutdown process performs the
following func
tions in the indicated order:
1. Flushes cache
2. Removes power from the controllers
3. Disables cach
e battery power
4. Removes power from the drive enclosures
5. Disconnects the system from HP Command View EVA
NOTE:
The stor age s
ystem may take a long time to complete the necessary cache flush during controller
shutdown whe
n snapshots are being used. The delay may be particularly long if multiple child snapshots
are use d, or
if ther e has been a lar ge amount of write activity to the snapshot source Vdisk.
Shutting down the storage system
To shut the storage system down, p erform the following steps:
1. Start HP Command View EVA.
2. Select the appropriate storage system in the Navigation pane.
The Initialized Storage System Properties window for the selected storage system opens.
3. Click System options.
The System Options window opens.
4. Click Shut down.
The Shutdown Op tions window opens.

6. Turn off the power switch on the rear of each HSV controller.
7. Turn off the circuit breakers on both of the EVA rack Power Distribution Units (PDU) .
8. If your management server is an SMA and you are not using it to manage other storage arrays, shut
down the SMA. From the SMA user interface, click Set ting s > M aintenance > Shutdown.
Powering up the storage system
To power up a stora ge system, perform the following steps:
1. Verify that each fabric Fibre Channel switch to which the HSV controllers are connected is powered
up and fully booted. The power indicator on each switch should be on.
If you must power up the SAN switches, wait for them to c omplete their power-on boot process
before proceeding. This may take several m inutes.
2. If the m anagement server you shut down is an SMA, power it on and wait for it to completely boot.
Verify the SMA is running by logging into it using the web interface.
