c. When the recovery procedure is completed, click Recheck in the Recovery
Guru. This action runs the Recovery Guru again to make sure that the
problem is corrected.
d. If the problem has not been corrected, contact your IBM technical-support
representative. Do not turn off power until all problems are corrected.
5. Check the cache active LED, and make sure that it is off.
If the cache active LED is lit, the cache contains data. Wait for the data to clear
from cache memory before you turn off the power.
6. Check the LEDs on the storage expansion enclosures to make sure that all
drive activity LEDs are off.
If one or more LEDs are flashing, data is being written to or from the drives.
Wait for all activity LEDs to stop flashing.
7. Turn off the ac power switch on the rear of each controller in the storage
subsystem.
Note: Until the power switch on each controller is turned off, power remains
turned on for both controllers.
8. Turn off both power switches on the rear of each storage expansion enclosure
in the configuration.
9. After you perform the necessary maintenance procedures, turn on the power,
using the procedure in “Turning on the storage subsystem” on page 46.
Performing an emergency shutdown
Attention: Emergency situations might include fire, flood, extreme weather
conditions, or other hazardous circumstances. If a power outage or emergency
situation occurs, always turn off all power switches on all computing equipment.
This helps to safeguard your equipment from potential damage due to electrical
surges when power is restored. If the storage subsystem loses power unexpectedly,
it might be due to a hardware failure in the power system or in the midplane.
Toshut down the system during an emergency, complete the following steps:
1. If you have time, stop all I/O activity to the storage subsystem by shutting down
the host or disconnecting the storage subsystem logical drives through the host.
2. Check the LEDs. Make note of any amber LEDs that are lit so that you can
correct the problem when you turn on the power again.
3. Turn off all power-supply switches, starting with the DS3200 storage subsystem
first and followed by the storage expansion enclosures. Then, disconnect the
power cables from the storage subsystem.
Restoring power after an unexpected shutdown
Torestore power to the storage subsystem in a configuration after an unplanned
shutdown, complete the following steps.
DANGER
Never turn on any equipment when there is evidence of fire, water, or
structural damage.
1. After the emergency situation is over or power is restored, visually check the
storage subsystem for damage. Is there evidence of damage to any of the
storage subsystem components, cables, or equipment that is attached to the
storage subsystem?
