• Powering off an appliance results in the mapped hosts losing access to the data on the appliance. Before you begin, ensure that you temporarily disconnect host access from all storage resources. • Obtain the following information: ○ Address of the VMware vCenter server associated with the appliance ○ Associated vCenter server account credentials ○ Service tags of the appliance and, if applicable, the associated expansion enclosures About this task Use the following procedure to power off (power down) a PowerStore X model appliance: Steps 1. Disable support notifications as described in Disable support notifications on page 128. 2. Log in to the associated vCenter server. 3. Shut down the user VMs on both ESXi hosts using vCenter commands. NOTE: Do not manually shut down the controller VMs on the ESXi hosts for the nodes. Controller VMs are automatically powered off when you place the ESXi host for each node in Maintenance Mode (see steps 3 and 4). 4. Place the ESXi host for node A in Maintenance Mode, and wait for the process to complete. 5. Place the ESXi host for node B in Maintenance Mode, and wait for the process to complete. 6. Once the nodes go into Maintenance Mode, shut down the ESXi hosts using the vCenter commands. 7. Monitor the vCenter server console to ensure that the ESXi hosts have shut down. 8. Wait for 5 minutes, and then, if required, disconnect the power cables from the base enclosure and expansion enclosures. Powering on procedures for PowerStore appliances This section includes the following procedures: • Power on a PowerStore T model appliance on page 121 • Power on a PowerStore X model appliance on page 122 Power on a PowerStore T model appliance About this task Use the following procedure to power on a PowerStore T model appliance: Steps 1. If nodes were removed, reseat the nodes into the base enclosure chassis. 2. If applicable, ensure that expansion enclosures are also reseated into the cabinet. 3. If applicable, reconnect the power cables to each associated expansion enclosure in an ascending order, such as the following: • Expansion enclosure 0 • Expansion enclosure 1 • Expansion enclosure 2 The power status LEDs on each expansion enclosure turns on when the power cable is connected. 4. Reconnect the power cables to node A first, and then node B. The Node Power LEDs on both nodes turn on when the power cable is connected. 5.
