The following procedure describes how you restart the fabric after shutting it down.
You can skip any steps that you did not perform when shutting the fabric down.
Power up the Fabric Management Platform by pressing the power button. This will boot the Linux operation system.
Note: If your system is configured with two FMPs for high availability that are currently powered off, the first FMP that powers on is associated with the Master status. The second FMP that powers on is associated with the Slave status.
Launch and access Fabric Manager.
Power up the first enterprise partition platform, using the Fabric Manager Power On command.
See Powering-On a Platform for the procedure.
Doing this accomplishes the following:
Applies DC power to the EPP.
Starts s-Par on the EPP.
May or may not put the EPP’s partition images in a running state, depending on the value of each partition’s Initial State attribute (see Starting a Partition Image). Initial State is set to Running by default.
If Initial State is set to Stopped, you must explicitly start the partition image using the Fabric Manager Start command (see Starting a Partition Image).
Once the partition is in a Running state, the operating system is automatically booted.
Approximate duration of step: Dependent on the number of partitions and other factors, but ten to twenty minutes is a rough approximation.
Power up all the other enterprise partition platforms as described in step 3.
Start your applications in whatever manner is correct for them.
