4. Under System Shutdown, click Power Down.
If you want to delay the initiation of the shutdown, enter the number of minutes in the Shutdown
delay field.
The controllers complete an orderly shutdown and then power off. The disk enclosures then
power off. Wait for the shutdown to complete.
Shutting down the storage system from the array controller
1. Push and hold the enclosure power button on the rear of the EVA4400 (see callout 9 in
Figure 11 (page 15) or Figure 12 (page 15)).
2. Wait 4 seconds.
The power button and the green LED start to blink.
NOTE: You must press and hold the power switch button for a minimum of 4 seconds.
Otherwise, nothing will happen.
3. Between 4 and 10 seconds, release the button. The button continues to blink and the firmware
starts the shutdown process (LED becomes solid amber, flushes the cache, disables the batteries).
4. After 10 seconds, the power shuts down.
Starting the storage system
1. Verify that each Fibre Channel fabric switch connected to the HSV controllers 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 complete their power-on boot process
before proceeding. This can take several minutes.
2. Power on the circuit breakers on both EVA rack PDUs. Verify that all disk enclosures are
operating properly. The status indicator and the power indicator should be on (green).
3. Power on the controller enclosure, which powers on both controllers.
4. After allowing the EVA4400 to start, connect to the HP P6000 Control Panel to verify the
display of the storage system name and WWN.
5. Start HP P6000 Command View and verify connection to the storage system. If the storage
system is not visible, click HSV Storage Network in the navigation pane, and then click Discover
in the Content pane to allow HP P6000 Command View to discover the array.
NOTE: If the storage system is still not visible, check zoning and cabling, and verify correct
configuration of server connectivity. If necessary, reboot the management server to re-establish
the communication link.
6. Check the storage system status using HP P6000 Command View to ensure everything is
operating properly. If any status indicator is not normal, check the log files or contact your
HP-authorized service provider for assistance.
With XCS 10000000 or later and HP P6000 Command View 9.4 or later, there is a feature in
the HP P6000 Control Panel that enables the controllers to boot automatically when power is
applied after a full shutdown. See the HP P6000 Control Panel online help or user guide for details
about setting this feature. To further clarify the use of this feature:
• If this feature is disabled and you turn on power to the array from the rack power distribution
unit (PDU), only the disk enclosures boot up. With this feature enabled, the controllers will
also boot up, making the entire array ready for use.
• If, after setting this feature, you remove the management module from its slot and reinsert it
to reset power or you restart the management module from the HP P6000 Control Panel, only
the controllers will automatically boot up after a full shutdown. In this scenario, you must ensure
