Stopping the ETERNUS AX/AC/HX
■ Cautions When Configuring an External Security Key Management Server
If security key management is configured using an external security key management server, stop
the server after the ETERNUS AX/AC/HX has stopped.
■ Cautions When Performing Maintenance of the ETERNUS AX/AC/HX during a
Power Outage
Before turning off the ETERNUS AX/AC/HX, execute the command to stop the dedicated OS of the
ETERNUS AX/AC/HX ("halt" command).
Failure to do this operation causes unwritten data to remain in the cache memory and then causes
the battery backup function to operate, thereby significantly shortening the battery life. Be sure to
stop the ETERNUS AX/AC/HX before performing maintenance of the ETERNUS AX/AC/HX during a
power outage.
1 Connect the serial console cable to the serial console port of controller A and then
start a terminal emulator (such as TeraTerm) on the administration PC or server.
2 On the console, press the Enter key.
A "login:" prompt appears.
3 Enter the login name and then the password.
The prompt "cluster1::>" appears.
To connect to the console, the username and password that have been set are required.
In the following example, the "cluster1::>" string shows the name that has been set for the
cluster.
4 Stop the ONTAP OS.
