Rebooting Storage Processors through VNX OE for Block CLI

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 verify that the first SP is operational before you reboot the second SP.

Steps

  1. Reboot a Storage Processor using the command: naviseccli -h <IP_address_of SP> -user <name> -password <password> -scope <scope> rebootSP.
    This command reboots the SP to which the IP_address refers.
  2. Prior to rebooting the second Storage Processor, you must first verify that you can log into Unisphere and manage the array.
  3. Repeat the first step for the other SP.
