Rebooting Storage Processors through Unisphere

Prerequisites

Verify the D@RE activation process has successfully started and encryption is either In Process, Encrypted or Scrubbing. See Encryption status.

About this task

If your VNX system does not have D@RE enabled or was received from EMC without D@RE activated, the Storage Processors must be rebooted once the D@RE activation process has successfully started. It does not matter in which order the Storage Processors are rebooted (for example, SP A then SP B or SP B then SP A). It is critical, however, that you reboot the Storage Processors one at a time and you verify that the first SP is operational before rebooting the second SP.

Steps

  1. Open EMC Unisphere using your Storage Processor's IP address in a supported browser.
  2. Click on the array and select System Storage Hardware.
  3. Expand the tab for SPs.
  4. Right-click the SP that you want to reboot (for example, SP A).
  5. Select Reboot.
  6. Select Yes at the confirmation window.
  7. Prior to rebooting the second Storage Processor, you must first verify that you can log into Unisphere and manage the array.
  8. Repeat steps 4, 5, and 6 for the other SP.
