Shutting the controller down
Use the following procedure to access the Shutdown System display and execute a shutdown
procedure.
CAUTION: If you decide NOT to power off while working in the Power Off menu, Power Off
System NO must be displayed before you press Esc. This reduces the risk of accidentally powering
down.
NOTE: HP P6000 Command View offers the preferred method for shutting down the controller.
Shut down the controller from the OCP only if HP P6000 Command View cannot communicate
with the controller.
Shutting down the controller from the OCP removes power from the controller on which the procedure
is performed only. To restore power, toggle the controller’s power.
1. Press three times to scroll to the Shutdown Options menu.
2. Press to display Restart.
3. Press to scroll to Power Off.
4. Press to select Power Off.
5. Power off system is displayed. Press Enter to power off the system.
Restarting the system
To restore the controller to an operational state, use the following procedure to restart the system.
1. Press three times to scroll to the Shutdown Options menu.
2. Press to select Restart.
3. Press to display Restart system?.
4. Press Enter to go to Startup.
No user input is required. The system will automatically initiate the startup procedure and
proceed to load the Storage System Name and World Wide Name information from the
operational controller.
Uninitializing the system
Uninitializing the system is another way to shut down the system. This action causes the loss of all
storage system data. Because HP P6000 Command View cannot communicate with the disk drive
enclosures, the stored data cannot be accessed.
CAUTION: Uninitializing the system destroys all user data. The WWN will remain in the controller
unless both controllers are powered off. The password will be lost. If the controllers remain powered
on until you create another storage system (initialize via GUI), you will not have to re-enter the
WWN.
Use the following procedure to uninitialize the system.
1. Press three times to scroll to the Shutdown Options menu.
2. Press to display Restart.
3. Press twice to display Uninitialize System.
4. Press to display Uninitialize?
5. Select Yes and press Enter.
The system displays Delete all data? Enter DELETE:_______
