About this task
NOTE:
If the node was removed from the chassis, reseat the node, reconnect the power cables, and wait for the node to
power on.
Use the following procedure to power on a PowerStore T model node in scenarios such as:
• You are remote and cannot reseat the node.
• Node was not removed from the chassis.
• Embedded module, I/O module, and 4-port card were replaced.
Steps
1. Launch an SSH client, and connect to the appliance using the management IP address. Since only the peer node is powered on, you
are connected directly to the peer node of the appliance.
2. Enter the username and password that is associated with the service account, and log in.
3. Run the following command:
svc_node power_on
4. Wait for the node to power on.
