This figure shows the SAN Volume Controller 2145-DH8 operator-information panel.

To turn on the power, press and release the power button. You must have a pointed device, such as a pen, to press the button.

To turn off the power, press and release the power button. For more information about how to turn off the SAN Volume Controller node, see MAP 5350: Powering off a SAN Volume Controller node.

Attention: When the node is operational and you press and immediately release the power button, the SAN Volume Controller writes its control data to its internal disk and then turns off. This process can take up to 5 minutes. If you press the power button but do not release it, the node turns off immediately without the SAN Volume Controller control data that is being written to disk. Service actions are then required to make the SAN Volume Controller operational again. Therefore, during a power-off operation, do not press and hold the power button for more than 2 seconds.
