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. 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 in a multi appliance cluster that already has one appliance powered on: 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. The ESXi hosts for both nodes exit Maintenance Mode automatically, and the controller VMs for both nodes automatically power on. Wait for the task to complete from vCenter. NOTE: The PowerStore controller VM can take around 10-15 minutes to power on. 6. Power on user VMs on the ESXi hosts for both nodes. 7. Verify that the PowerStore X model cluster is operating normally in both vCenter server and PowerStore Manager. Power control procedures 15
