Powering up the controllers
To start a storage system, perform the following steps:
1. Verify that each fabric Fibre Channel switch to which the HSV controllers are connected 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 may take several minutes.
NOTE:
Before applying power to the rack, ensure that the power switch on each HSV controller is
off.
2. Power on the circuit breakers on both EVA rack PDUs. Verify that all drive enclosures are operating
properly. The status indicator and the power indicator should be on (green).
3. Wait three minutes and then verify that all disk drives are ready. The drive ready indicator and
the drive online indicator should be on (green).
4. Power on the upper controller (Controller A). It takes the role of master controller.
5. Wait 10 seconds and then power on the lower controller (Controller B). It takes the role of slave
controller.
6. Verify that the Operator Control Panel (OCP) display on each controller displays the storage
system name and the EVA WWN.
