Power on a PowerStore X model appliance Prerequisites 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 • Management IP address of the cluster and the service account credentials About this task Use the following procedure to power on a PowerStore X model appliance: Steps 1. If nodes were removed, reseat the nodes back 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 a power cable is connected to either node. ESXi hosts for both the nodes power on in Maintenance Mode. 5. Log in to the associated vCenter server, and exit the ESXi host for the node A from Maintenance Mode. Wait for the task to complete. 6. In vCenter server, right-click the controller VM for node A, and power it on. NOTE: The PowerStore controller VM can take around 10-15 minutes to power on. 7. In a web browser, try accessing PowerStore Manager for the cluster, and wait for the login prompt to appear. 8. Exit the ESXi host for the node B from Maintenance Mode. Wait for the task to complete. Controller VM for node B automatically gets restarted. 9. Power on user VMs on the ESXi hosts for both nodes. 10. Verify that the PowerStore X model cluster is operating normally in both vCenter server and PowerStore Manager. 11. Enable support notifications as described in Enable support notifications on page 128. Powering off procedures for PowerStore cluster This section includes the following procedures: • Power off a PowerStore T model cluster on page 122 • Power off a PowerStore X model cluster on page 123 Power off a PowerStore T model cluster Prerequisites • Powering off a cluster results in the mapped hosts losing access to the data on the cluster. Before you begin, ensure that you temporarily disconnect host access from all storage resources. • When the cluster is powered off, you have no access to the GUI, API, or CLI interfaces. Print the power on instructions to ensure that you have the information you require to power on the cluster in a specific order. You can also find these instructions on www.dell.com/powerstoredocs. 122 Power control procedures

Power on a PowerStore X model appliance

Prerequisites

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

•

Management IP address of the cluster and the service account credentials

About this task

Use the following procedure to power on a PowerStore X model appliance:

Steps

If nodes were removed, reseat the nodes back into the base enclosure chassis.

If applicable, ensure that expansion enclosures are also reseated into the cabinet.

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.

Reconnect the power cables to node A first, and then node B.

The Node Power LEDs on both nodes turn on when a power cable is connected to either node. ESXi hosts for both the nodes power

on in Maintenance Mode.

Wait for the task to complete.

In vCenter server, right-click the controller VM for node A, and power it on.

NOTE:

The PowerStore controller VM can take around 10-15 minutes to power on.

In a web browser, try accessing PowerStore Manager for the cluster, and wait for the login prompt to appear.

Exit the ESXi host for the node B from Maintenance Mode.

Wait for the task to complete. Controller VM for node B automatically gets restarted.

Power on user VMs on the ESXi hosts for both nodes.

10.

Verify that the PowerStore X model cluster is operating normally in both vCenter server and PowerStore Manager.

11.

Powering off procedures for PowerStore cluster

This section includes the following procedures:

•

Power off a PowerStore T model cluster

on page 122

•

Power off a PowerStore X model cluster

on page 123

Power off a PowerStore T model cluster

Prerequisites

•

Powering off a cluster results in the mapped hosts losing access to the data on the cluster. Before you begin, ensure that you

temporarily disconnect host access from all storage resources.

•

When the cluster is powered off, you have no access to the GUI, API, or CLI interfaces.

Print the power on instructions to ensure that you have the information you require to power on the cluster in a specific order. You

can also find these instructions on
