2. Ensure all power cords are connected to the controller enclosure and disk enclosures. Apply

power to the rack PDUs.

3. Apply power to the controller enclosure (rear panel on the enclosure). The disk enclosures will

power on automatically. Wait for a solid green status LED on the controller enclosure and disk

enclosures (approximately five minutes).

4. Wait (up to five minutes) for the array to complete its startup routine.

5. Apply power to the servers in the SAN with access to the array, start the operating system,

and log in as administrator.

CAUTION:

• If power is applied to a server and it attempts to boot off of an array that has not been

powered on properly, the server will not start.

• If a New Hardware Found message appears when you power on a server, cancel the

message and ensure that supported drivers are installed on the server.

6. Start HP P6000 Command View and verify connection to the storage system. If the storage

system is not visible, click EVA Storage Network in the navigation pane, and then click Discover

in the content pane to discover the array.

NOTE: If the storage system is still not visible, reboot the management server or management

module to re-establish the communication link.

7. Check the storage system status using HP P6000 Command View to ensure everything is

operating properly. If any status indicator is not normal, check the log files or contact your

HP-authorized service provider for assistance.

There is a feature in the HP P6000 Control Panel that enables the controllers to boot automatically

when power is applied after a full shutdown. See the HP P6000 Control Panel online help or user

guide for details about setting this feature. To further clarify the use of this feature:

• If this feature is disabled and you turn on power to the array from the rack power distribution

unit (PDU), only the disk enclosures boot up. With this feature enabled, the controllers will

also boot up, making the entire array ready for use.

• If, after setting this feature, you remove the management module from its slot and reinsert it

to reset power or you restart the management module from the HP P6000 Control Panel, only

the controllers will automatically boot up after a full shutdown. In this scenario, you must ensure

that the disk enclosures are powered up first; otherwise, the controller boot up process may

be interrupted.

• After setting this HP P6000 Control Panel feature, if you have to shut down the array, perform

the following steps:

1. Use HP P6000 Command View to shut down the controllers and disk enclosures.

2. Turn off power from the rack power distribution unit (PDU).

3. Turn on power from the rack PDU.

After startup of the management module, the controllers will automatically start.

Restarting the iSCSI or iSCSI/FCoE module

If you determine that the iSCSI or iSCSI/FCoE modules must be rebooted, you can use HP P6000

Command View to restart the modules. Shutting down the iSCSI or iSCSI/FCoE modules through

HP P6000 Command View is not supported. You must use the CLI to shut down the modules and

then power cycle the array to power on the modules after the shutdown.

To restart a module:

1. Select the iSCSI controller in the navigation pane.

2. Select Shutdown on the iSCSI Controller Properties window.
