Procedure: Restarting a control enclosure

To restart a FlashSystem 7300 control enclosure, you must reseat the node canisters.

About this task

If a FlashSystem 7300 control enclosure has been shut down with the GUI or CLI, you must restart it by reseating the node canisters.
Note: If enclosure input power was removed from both power supply units, the input power LED of both PSUs is off. To restart the enclosure in this case, refer to Procedure: Powering on the FlashSystem 7300 system.

Procedure

  1. Refer to Procedure: Understanding the FlashSystem 7300 system status from the LEDs.
  2. Locate the ac power (input) and dc power (output) LEDs on each of the two power supply units in the enclosure.
    If these LEDs are not lit green, go to Procedure: Powering on the FlashSystem 7300 system.
  3. Locate the Power LED on the rear of node canister 1.
    If it is lit green and slowly flashing, reseat the node canister.
    The power LED of the reseated canister flashes fast for a few seconds while it starts.
  4. Repeat step 3 on node canister 2.
  5. Wait a few minutes until the green status LED of at least one reseated node canister is lit.
    The system is now online.
  6. Log in to the management GUI to obtain the status of the system.
