4.3Power Down Settings

The RamSan has features that allow the administrator to safely power down the system.

4.3.1Manual shutdown

The administrator can shut down the RamSan manually from the front panel and via Text Management Interface. In the RamSan-320, this procedure safely synchronizes all data in RAM to the internal hard disk drive storage.

In order to turn the RamSan back on after a manual shutdown, press the “Power” button on the power supplies. For additional details, see Section 2.7 – Turning on the System.

Important:

TMS recommends backing-up the contents of the RamSan to your server or another storage device as a fail-safe before performing a Manual Shutdown.

Via Front Panel Display

To shut down the system using the front panel, use the arrow buttons to cycle through the top-level menu to select “Manual Shutdown.” Use the “Select” button to select this menu item.

The display prompts you to confirm that you wish to “Power Off System.” To cancel the shutdown, use the “↑” button to return to the main menu. To proceed with the shutdown, use the “↓” button to confirm the system power off.
