3.Under Service, select elect Configure User-Initiated Service Mode (USIM). The Configure User-Initiated Service Mode page opens.

4.Enter your name and reason for suppressing support calls in the Reason box.

5.Enter the amount of time for the storage system to remain in service mode.

6.Click Start service mode.

When service mode is enabled, the Configure User-Initiated Service Mode window displays Support calls to HP disabled and the amount of time remaining in service mode. There are also options for you to Stop service mode or Restart service mode.

Uninitializing storage systems

See the HP P6000 Command View online help for detailed procedures related to managing your storage environment.

CAUTION: If you uninitialize an array, you will lose all virtual disks, associated data, and host presentations that you created for the array.

Uninitializing an array is not a common procedure. Uninitialize an array only if you want to clear all data for that array. See the online help for instructions.

Starting the storage system

The procedure for starting a storage system varies by array model. For information on how to start an array, see the user guide for your array.

Shutting down the storage system

CAUTION: Ensure that any active commands, layered applications (for example, HP Storage System Scripting Utility, HP P6000 Continuous Access, HP P6000 Business Copy, or HP P6000 Replication Solutions Manager) or functions have completed before you begin this procedure.

Shutting down an array makes application data unavailable to host applications. Shutting down one array controller affects the performance of any presented virtual disks.

To shut down the array (both array-based and server-based management):

1.From Storage System point of view, array Properties page, click System Options.

2.Under Service, click Shut down system. The Shutdown Options window opens.

3.Under System Shutdown, select Power Down. To delay the shutdown, enter a value in the Shutdown delay box to set a time delay (in minutes).

The controllers perform an orderly shutdown and then power-off. The disk controllers then power-off.

4.Wait for the shutdown to finish, and then turn off the power.

For the location of the power switch, see Figure 7 (page 48) through Figure 13 (page 49).
