Shutting down the system

CAUTION:

To power off the system for more than 96 hours, use Command View EVA.

You can use the shutdown system function to implement the following shutdown methods: (see

Table 29

)

Restarting the system (see

Restarting the System

).

Turning off the power (see

Powering Off the System

).

Uninitializing the system (see

Uninitializing the System

).

To ensure that you do not mistakenly activate a shutdown procedure, the default state is always NO,

indicating do not implement this procedure. Implementing any shutdown method requires you to

complete at least two actions.

Description

RESTART

Implementing this procedure establishes communications between the storage

system and Command View EVA. This procedure is used to restore the

controller to an operational state where it can communicate with Command

View EVA

POWER OFF

Implementing this procedure initiates the sequential removal of controller

power. This ensures no data is lost. The reasons for implementing this

procedure include replacing a disk drive enclosure.

SYSTEM UNINITIALIZE

Implementing this procedure will cause the loss of all data. For a detailed

discussion of this procedure, see

Uninitializing the System

.

Shutting the controller down using the LCD menu

Use the following procedure to select the Shutdown System display and execute a shutdown procedure.

NOTE:

Command View EVA is the preferred method for shutting down the controller. Shut down the controller

from the OCP only if Command View EVA cannot communicate with the controller.
Shutting down the controller from the OCP removes power from the controller on which the procedure is

performed only. To restore power, toggle the controller’s power switch.
