5. From vSphere, place the secondary ESXi host in Maintenance Mode.
6. Wait for the controller VM to power off. If the controller VM does not power off after 5 minutes, manually power off the VM
from vSphere.
When the PowerStore X model controller is powered off, ESXi finishes entering Maintenance Mode.
7. Place the primary ESXi host in Maintenance Mode.
8. Wait for the controller VM to power off. If the controller VM does not power off after 5 minutes, manually power off the VM
from vSphere.
When the PowerStore X model controller is powered off, ESXi finishes entering Maintenance Mode.
9. After both ESXi hosts are in maintenance mode, disconnect the power cables.
Powering on procedures for PowerStore cluster
This section includes the following procedures:
● Power on a PowerStore T model cluster on page 123
● Power on a PowerStore X model cluster on page 123
Power on a PowerStore T model cluster
About this task
Use the following procedure to power on a PowerStore T model cluster:
Steps
1. If nodes were removed, reseat the nodes into the relevant base enclosure chassis.
2. If applicable, for each appliance in the cluster, ensure that expansion enclosures are also reseated into the cabinet.
3. If applicable, for each appliance in the cluster, reconnect the power cables to each expansion enclosure in the following
order:
● Expansion enclosure 0
● Expansion enclosure 1
● Expansion enclosure 2
The power status LEDs on each expansion enclosure turns on when the power cable is connected.
4. For each appliance, reconnect the power cables to node A first, and then node B.
The Node Power LED on each node turns on when the power cable is connected.
Power on a PowerStore X model cluster
Prerequisites
Obtain the following information:
● Address of the VMware vCenter server associated with the appliance.
● Associated vCenter server account credentials
● Service tags of the appliance and, if applicable, the associated expansion enclosures.
● Management IP address of the cluster and the service account credentials
About this task
Use the following procedure to power on a PowerStore X model cluster.
The following table describes which controller VMs must be manually powered on. The remaining controller VMs are
automatically powered on when you remove the ESXi host from Maintenance Mode.
