Steps
1.
Log in to the associated vCenter server.
2.
Shut down all user VMs except for the PowerStore X model controller VMs and vCLS VMs on internal ESXi hosts.
3.
If your environment has external compute servers that access the PowerStore X model cluster storage using iSCSI or FC,
shut down those VMs.
4.
From vSphere, place the secondary ESXi host in Maintenance Mode.
5.
Wait for the controller VM to power off. If the controller VM does not power off after 5 minutes, manually power off the VM
from vSphere.
When the PowerStore X model controller is powered off, ESXi finishes entering Maintenance Mode.
6.
Place the primary ESXi host in Maintenance Mode.
7.
Wait for the controller VM to power off. If the controller VM does not power off after 5 minutes, manually power off the VM
from vSphere.

Power on a PowerStore X model cluster
on page 177
Power on a PowerStore T model cluster
About this task
Use the following procedure to power on a PowerStore T model cluster:
Steps
1.
If nodes were removed, reseat the nodes into the relevant base enclosure chassis.
2.
If applicable, for each appliance in the cluster, ensure that expansion enclosures are also reseated into the cabinet.
3.
If applicable, for each appliance in the cluster, reconnect the power cables to each expansion enclosure in the following
order:
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.
For each appliance, reconnect the power cables to node A first, and then node B.
The Node Power LED on each node turns on when the power cable is connected.
