Powering on the MSA
1.
Verify that the following devices are powered on and in a ready state:
• Uninterruptible Power Supplies (UPS)
• Network switches
2. Power on all attached hard drive storage enclosures.
IMPORTANT:
Proceed to the next step only after con fi rming that the external storage enclosures have completed their
startup routines; otherwise, the MSA array may not properly discover the storage.
3. Press and release the Power On/Standby button on the front of the chassis to start the MSA array.
The LED on the Power On/Standby button changes from amber to solid green, indicating that the
MSA has been powered on.
4. Wait for the MSA array to complete its startup routine. When complete, the LCD will display
Startup Complete
. This may take up to three minutes, depending on your con fi guration.
NOTE:
In dual-controller con fi gurations, each time the MSA is restarted, fi rmware on the two
controllers is compared. If the versions are mismatched, the system prompts to clone the
fi rmware on the controller with the latest version (higher number) over to the controller with
the earlier version (lower number) fi rmware. The following message is displayed on the LCD
panel of the controller with the earlier fi rmware:
07 CLONE FIRMWARE? ‘<‘ = NO, ‘>’ = YES
Press the > button on the LCD panel to clone the fi rmware. (In dual-controller con fi gurations,
fi rmware on the controllers must be the same version.)
5. Press the ^ and v LCD panel buttons on each MSA controller to review the startup messages and look
for the following message:
Startup Complete
IMPORTANT:
Proceed to the next step only after the
Startup Complete
message is displayed. If you
power on (or restart) the server before the MSA array completes its startup sequence, the
server may not properly discover the storage.
6. Power on (or restart) the servers with access to the MSA, start the operating system, and log on
as a user with administrative control.
7. Verify that each device in the network is operating properly.
