HP Scalable File Share G3 MSA2000fc How To

6 Powering on and off MSA2000 enclosures
Before powering on the enclosure for the first time:
1. Install all hard drives in the enclosure so the connected host controller can identify and configure
them when you power on the system.
2. Connect the cables and power cords to the enclosure as explained in the Installation Poster.
3. Power on the enclosures and associated data host in the following order:
a. Drive enclosures
b. Controller enclosure
c. Data hosts last (if they are powered down for maintenance purposes)
To power on the system:
1. Press the power switches at the back of each drive enclosure to the On position.
2. Wait for the drive in the enclosure to perform a full spin up. The drive is ready when the LEDs
stop blinking.
3. Press the power switches at the back of the controller enclosure to the On position.
4. Start the data hosts, in this instance all HP SFS servers and file system components (MGT,
MDT, and OSTSs). For more information, see section 5.3 Starting the File System in the HP
Scalable File Share User Guide G3.2-0.
To power off the system:
1. Stop all I/O from hosts to the system. Unmount all HP SFS clients and targets (MGT, MDT,
and OSTs) on all HP SFS server nodes to halt all host I/O to the storage system. For more
information, see section 5.4 Stopping the File System in the HP Scalable File Share User Guide
G3.2-0.
2. Use SMU to shut down both controllers. For information on shutting down controllers, see SMU
online help or the CLI reference guide. Wait until SMU indicates that processing is complete.
3. Press the power switches at the back of the controller enclosure to the Off position.
