Huawei ES3000 V3 - Orderly Hot Plug of a Disk in Windows

Notifying the OS
Step 1 Log in to the OS as the root user.
Step 2 Stop all services accessing the ES3000 V3 disk.
Step 3 If you have used the mount command to attach the disk partitions to certain paths, use the
umount command to detach the partitions.
Step 4 Run the following command to notify the OS to take power off the device.
$slot in the commands indicates the actual number of the slot where the device is attached.
echo 0 > /sys/bus/pci/slots/$slot/power
Step 5 if the OS uses the irqbalance service to balance CPU interrupts, restart the service by using
one of the following commands after performing a hot plug:
l For Red Hat 6 or CentOs 6, run service irqbalance restart.
l For SLES 11, run service irq_balancer restart.
l For SLES 12 or Red Hat 7, run systemctl restart irqbalance.service.
NOTE
l For Red Hat 6, CentOs 6, or SLES 12, you can add IRQBALANCE_ARGS="--hintpolicy=exact" to the
end of the /etc/sysconfig/irqbalance file content to better balance interrupts.
l To configure the irqbalance service in other OSs, refer to documents related to the OSs.
