Shutting Down a Clustered Configuration (BUI)

Use this procedure to shut down a clustered configuration. A cluster that has been shut down can be restored to the same cluster configuration as before the shutdown by powering on both controllers.

  1. From one of the peer controllers: From the Configuration menu, select Cluster.
  2. Determine the cluster state of each controller.

    In the following figure, the active controller is controller-a, and the standby controller is controller-b.


    Figure that shows the state of each controller in a cluster.

    The following table describes the valid pairs of controller states (active and standby controllers) that you could see.

    controller-a controller-b Condition

    Both controllers are running in a normal clustered condition.

    image showing the status off icon Ready (waiting for failback)

    controller-a owns all of the resources and is the active controller. controller-b is in standby mode and has no resources. To limit the number of times a pool is moved, shut down the standby controller first.

    controller-b is rebooting and controller-a has all resources.

    Unknown (disconnected or restarting)

    controller-b is powered off or rebooting, or all of its cluster interconnect links are down.

  3. Log in to the BUI of controller-b, and click the power icon image showing the power icon on the left side, under the masthead.

    Note:

    To limit the number of times a pool is moved, shut down the standby controller first.
  4. From the BUI of controller-a's Configuration menu, select Cluster to confirm that controller-b is powered off, with the cluster state: Unknown (disconnected or restarting).
  5. From the BUI of controller-a, click the power icon image showing the power icon on the left side, under the masthead.
  6. Optional: Use Oracle ILOM to confirm that both controllers are powered off.

    Enter the following command in the Oracle ILOM:

    ->show /SYS power_state

    For information about accessing Oracle ILOM, see Logging in to Oracle ILOM Remotely Using a Command Line Interface in Oracle ZFS Storage Appliance Customer Service Manual, Release OS8.8.x.

  7. Power off the disk shelves.
    1. Place the power supply on/off switches to the "O" off position.
    2. Disconnect the power cords from the external power source for the cabinet.

      Note:

      All power cords must be disconnected to completely remove power from the disk shelf.
