Hardware Power Down Sequence:

 

Note: You can also choose to completely shut the nodes down by issuing : "shutdown -h now"

instead of "service cvfs stop". 

 

 

 

1. Ensure you have a successful Stornext backup:

    Run snbackup from command line or run backup from the GUI.

 

2.   Login into the secondary MDC  through a SSH session, and make sure it is secondary by running the command :
     

 Stop Stornext on secondary MDC node 2 : service cvfs stop

    # snhamgr status

    You should get this :
    ========================
    LocalMode=default
    LocalStatus=running
    RemoteMode=default
    RemoteStatus=primary
    ========================

    Now proceed to stop Stornext on the system :

 

 # service cvfs stop

 

 

 

 

 

 

3.  Stop Stornext on primary MDC node 1: service cvfs stop

 

.   

     Login into the primary MDC  through a SSH session, and make sure it is primary by running the command :
     
    # snhamgr status

    You should get this :
    ========================
    LocalMode=default
    LocalStatus=primary
    RemoteMode=default
    RemoteStatus=running
    ========================

    Now proceed to stop Stornext  on the system :

 

 # service cvfs stop

 

   

 

4.            power down storagearray QXS-1200 controller (enclosure 0) : Login to QX GUI, Tools > Shut Down or Restart Controller, Controller Type: Storage, Controller: Both

5.            power down QXS-1200 expansion units (enclosure 1, 2 etc)

6.            power down both MDCs. (optional)

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Hardware Power Up Sequence:

 

Power up ;  make sure to power up the expansion unit first.

1.            power up QXS-1200 expansion unit (enclosure 1, 2 etc) Wait 60secs b/w each power up

2.            power up QXS-1200 controller (enclosure 0) Wait 60secs b/w power up

3.            power up MDC1 or issue "service cvfs start" Stornext should automatically start

4.            Wait til MDC1  is fully powered up,  and then power up MDC 2 or "service cvfs start"
