4.Power up all 660F and 650F storage systems and tape libraries and autoloaders.

5.Power up all 530F SAN appliances.

6.Power up all host servers.

Shutting Down a SAN

NOTE: All devices identified in a step must be fully shut down before continuing to the next step.

1.For PowerVault 660F and 224F storage systems, open the Dell OpenManage Array Manager and use the shutdown command to prepare the cache for shut down.

2.Shut down all host servers, and ensure that the power is turned off.

3.Shut down all PowerVault 530F SAN appliances, and ensure that the power is turned off.

4.For PowerVault 650F, 651F, and 630F storage system arrays, turn off the power on the storage processors and wait for complete shutdown of the 650F or 651F. When the 650F or 651F shuts down, you can shut down the rest of the array by turning off the power in the 630F storage systems.

5.For PowerVault 660F storage systems, wait until the Cache Dirty LED is off, then turn off the power. For information about the Cache Dirty LED, see your Dell PowerVault 660F and 224F documentation.

6.Turn off power to the PowerVault 224F storage systems.

7.Turn off power to all tape libraries and autoloaders.

8.Turn off power to all Fibre Channel bridges.

9.Turn off power to all Fibre Channel switches.
