Verify that the server data has been recently backed up.
You can view the current backup status from the User Control Console Dashboard ("

site, press and release the Power On/Standby button on both servers within 30 seconds of each
other. This action will initiate a controlled shutdown of applications and the OS.

contact the HPE ProLiant Easy Connect Support ( https://support.prolianteasyconnect.com ).
2.
