Owners Manual

About this task
Use the following procedure to power on (power up) a PowerStore X model node in scenarios such as:
● You are remote and cannot reseat the node.
● Node was not removed from the chassis.
● Embedded module, I/O module, and 4-port card were replaced.
Steps
1. Launch an SSH client, and connect to the appliance using the management IP address. Since only the peer node is powered
on, you are connected directly to the peer node of the appliance.
2. Enter the username and password that is associated with the service account, and log in.
3. Run the following command:
svc_node power_on
This command powers on the ESXi host for the intended node. Wait for the ESXi host to complete powering on.
4. Log in to the associated vCenter server, and exit the ESXi host for the node from Maintenance Mode.
The controller VM powers on automatically.
NOTE: For primary internal M.2 boot module replacements, skip this step. The controller VM powers on automatically
once the ESXi host powers up because the ESXi host is not in Maintenance Mode.
5. Monitor the vCenter server console to ensure that the ESXi host and controller VM have returned to normal operation.
6. Enable support notifications as described in Enable support notifications on page 129.
