Before you start
This task on the system involves powering down the SPs. When all SPs are down, all
I/O services stop and hosts lose access to the system. Once one or both SPs become
available to the system, I/O services to hosts will resume.
Before performing this procedure, you should disconnect all network shares and LUNs
from each host to prevent data loss. Once the system is fully powered up, you can
reconnect the hosts to these storage resources.
Pay careful attention when installing SAS cable connectors into the system SAS
ports. Improper installation can cause damage to the chassis requiring a
complete chassis replacement. If you meet resistance when installing the cable
connector into the SAS port, ensure that you are installing the connector in the
correct orientation before continuing.
