System power-off and reboot procedure
When you power-off or reboot your Profile XP Platform and RAID storage system,
you must follow the proper sequence as described in the following procedure.
NOTE: If your Profile XP Media Platform is part of an Open SAN, disregard this
procedure, and refer to the instructions in the Open SAN Instruction Manual for
shutting down the Open SAN.
1. Power-off the RAID storage system by powering-off the RAID Controller chassis
prior to, or at the same time as the RAID Expansion chassis.
CAUTION: You must always power off the PFR500 RAID Controller chassis prior
to, or at the same time as the PFR500E Expansion Chassis. Failure to do so may
force some LUNs offline. This will cause loss of access to the media file system
when the system is powered on again. Refer to the Profile XP System Guide for
instructions on how to recover from improper power-off sequence.
2. Wait approximately 30 seconds for the disk drives to spin down, then power-on all
RAID Expansion chassis, then all RAID Controller chassis. Always power-on the
RAID Expansion chassis prior to, or at the same time as the RAID Controller
chassis.
3. Wait for RAID storage initialization, as follows:
- PFR700 RAID Storage systems - Wait until all disk access LEDs are steady —
approximately 4 minutes. The controller READY LED must be ON, the front
Power LED must be ON, and the front Service LED must be OFF. (Refer to the
PFR 700 Instruction Manual to interpret other disk access LED or status LED
behavior.)
- PFR600 RAID Storage systems - Wait until all disk access LEDs are steady
green— approximately 4 minutes. The rear panel 7-segment LED displays the
chassis address. (Refer to the PFR 600 Instruction Manual to interpret other disk
access LED or 7-segment LED behavior.)
- PFR500 RAID Storage systems - Wait until all disk access LEDs are steady
green— approximately 4 minutes. The rear panel 7-segment LED displays the
chassis address and the HOST RDY light is on. (Refer to the PFR 500 Instruction
Manual to interpret other disk access LED or 7-segment LED behavior.)
- PFC500 RAID Storage systems - Wait until the System Check LED is off and all
disk access LEDs are steady green— approximately 2 minutes. (Refer to the
PFC500 Instruction Manual to interpret other front panel LED behavior.)
On the Profile XP Media Platform, shut down and restart the Windows operating
system. Wait for auto-logon as described in “Start your system” on page 17.
