Powering on the server or cluster
Procedure
Verify that all servers are switched off.
Start all storage subsystems, beginning with the expansion enclosures.
Wait until the disk LEDs on all of the expansion enclosures have stopped blinking (which indicates that they are spinning up) or two minutes, whichever comes first, then start the storage subsystem RAID controller enclosures. Note that the disk drives in some storage enclosures will not spin up until commanded to do so by the RAID controller, so the LEDs may continue to blink until after the RAID controller enclosure has sent those commands and the drives have spun up.
For a cluster configuration, or when using an external System Management Unit (SMU), start the SMU by depressing the red button located on the right of the unit.
Wait one minute to allow the external SMU to start.Power up the server or the first node in the cluster:
If the power cables are not connected to the PSU, plug in the power cables.
If, after 10 seconds, the PSU LEDs are lit but the Power Status LED on the rear panel is not lit, press the PWR button on the MFB to restore the power to the system boards. Report this as a problem to Hitachi Vantara customer support.
If the power cables are connected to the PSU, press the PWR (power) button on the rear of the server.
If you are starting a cluster, wait 5-10 seconds before powering on the next node in the cluster.
