1.

Stop the IO/stop all hosts first except the one on which the Command view EVA
is running. If this host is a dedicated SMA, then no LUNs are presented to it, so
open the Command View EVA application. If you dont have any dedicated SMA, stop
its applications first but let the Command View EVA running.

2. Shut down via the Command View is HP preferred method

it does the following:
a) flushes cache
b) removes power from the controllers
c) disables cache battery power
d) remove power from the drive enclosures
e) disconnects the system from the Command View EVA

3. The shutdown procedure:

a) Launch the Command View EVA app
b) In the Navigation Pane, click the Storage name
c) Go to the Initialized Storage system properties
d) Click the the POWER DOWN in a SYSTEM SHUTDOWN SECTION
e) Wait for the shutdown procedure finish and then turn off the circuit breakers
on both of the EVA PDUs.
f) Turn off the power switch on the rear of each HSV controller
g) if this is the only EVA shutdown the SMA/ EVA management host

h) switch of the SAN switches

i) switch of the LAN switches

POWER ON
i) switch on the LAN switches
j) switch on the SAN switches
k) switch on the SMA/EVA management host
l) Power on the circuit breakers on both EVAs PDUs
m) wait 3 minutes and check if all drive enclosures disks are ready (LEDs)
n) Power on the upper HSV controller. It will become the master controller
o) Wait 10 seconds and power up the lower HSV controller
p) verify that the OCP panel is showing the EVAs name and WWN
q) launch the Command View EVA. If the EVA is not visible, click the discovery
If its still not visible restart the SMA
r) via the Command View EVA check the array status to ensure that everything is
opeating properly
