System reboot procedure
Some RAID storage maintenance procedures require rebooting the RAID storage system
and Profile XP Media Platform. Use the following procedure when a reboot is required.
NOTE: If your Profile XP Media Platform is part of an Open SAN, disregard this
procedure, and refer to the instructions in the Open SAN Instruction Manual for
shutting down the Open SAN.
1. Power-off the RAID storage system by powering-off the RAID Controller chassis
prior to, or at the same time as the RAID Expansion chassis.
CAUTION: You must always power off the PFR500 RAID Controller chassis prior
to, or at the same time as the PFR500E Expansion Chassis. Failure to do so may
force some LUNs offline. This will cause loss of access to the media file system
when the system is powered on again. Refer to “Forcing LUNs online: Recovery
from improper power-off sequence” on page 103.
2. Wait approximately 30 seconds for the disk drives to spin down, then power-on all
RAID Expansion chassis, then all RAID Controller chassis.
NOTE: Always power-on the RAID Expansion chassis prior to, or at the same time
as the RAID Controller chassis.
3. Wait for RAID storage initialization, as follows:
- PFR 700 RAID Storage systems - Wait until the Ready LED on the RAID
controller is steady green— approximately 2 minutes. The wait is approximately
5 minutes for the first reboot after a firmware download. (Refer to the PFR700
Instruction Manual to interpret other LED behavior.)
- PFR 600 RAID Storage systems - Wait until all disk access LEDs are steady
green— approximately 1 minute. The rear panel 7-segment LED displays the
chassis address. (Refer to the PFR 600 Instruction Manual to interpret other disk
access LED or 7-segment LED behavior.)
- PFR 500 RAID Storage systems - Wait until all disk access LEDs are steady
green and the HOST RDY LED is illuminated — approximately 4 minutes. The
rear panel 7-segment LED displays the chassis address. (Refer to the PFR 500
Instruction Manual to interpret other disk access LED or 7-segment LED
behavior.)
- PFC 500 RAID Storage systems - Wait until the System Check LED is off and
all disk access LEDs are steady green— approximately 2 minutes. (Refer to the
PFC500 Instruction Manual to interpret other front panel LED behavior.)
4. On the Profile XP Media Platform, shutdown and restart the Windows operating
system. Wait for auto-logon, or refer to “Logging on Windows NT” on page 44.
