Use vCenter to shut down the SVM

In vCenter, shut down the Storage VM (SVM) before adding the NVDIMM.

Steps

  1. In vCenter, verify that the SDS data IP address matches the SVM IP address.
  2. Log in to vCenter using the vSphere client, and locate the relevant IP address or SVM name (which should include the host serial number).
    NOTE: Verify that the SVM IP address displayed in vCenter is the same as the SVM management IP address you recorded.
  3. Select the SVM, and from the Basic Tasks pane select Shut down the virtual machine.
  4. In the PowerFlex GUI Alerts view, verify that you received an alert that the SDS is disconnected. If the SVM is a cluster member, also verify that you received an alert that the MDM cluster is being degraded.
