NonStop Operations Guide for H-Series and J-Series RVUs

4. For NonStop NS-series systems only, if your maintenance LAN is not configured with the
dynamic name service (DNS) or does not have reverse look-up, you must perform a hard reset
of the maintenance entities (MEs) in each p-switch or IOAM enclosure, or the integrated
maintenance entities (IMEs) in each VIO enclosure*:
a. From the Log On to HP OSM Low-Level Link dialog box, select Logon with Host Name or
IP Address.
b. Enter the IP address of:
• a maintenance entity (ME) in a p-switch
• an ME in an IOAM enclosure
• an IME in a VIO enclosure
c. Expand the tree pane to locate the ME or IME.
d. Right-click that ME or IME object and select Actions.
e. Select Hard Reset.
f. Click Perform Action.
g. A message appears:
Hard Reset action will make the current session lost.
After OSM Low-Level Link completes Hard Reset action,
it will log you off. Do you really want to reset the ME?
h. Click OK.
i. Close the Low-Level Link.
j. Repeat these steps for the other ME(s) or IME.
* For NonStop NS14000 series, NS1200, and NS1000 systems, there are no p-switches. Instead,
there are either two MEs in the IOAM enclosure or an IME in each of the two VIO enclosures.
Powering On the System From a No Power State
To power on the system when you first receive your system, your service provider can refer to the
NonStop Hardware Installation Manual for your NonStop system. To power on the system
subsequently:
1. Before you power on any system enclosures, power on stand-alone system consoles (if any),
the external system devices, and any other devices you want started when the system starts.
External system devices include tape devices, SAS disk drive enclosures, Enterprise Storage
Systems (ESSs), printers, and terminals.
Refer to the documentation that accompanies the device for instructions on powering on. For
example:
• You must power on Fibre Channel to SCSI Converter devices connected to your system
before you power on the tape devices attached to it. The converter must be powered on
first to be able to discover the tape devices as they are powered on.
• Maintenance switches installed outside of a modular cabinet must be powered on
according to the instructions provided with the switch.
2. Locate the circuit breaker that controls the power cords connected to the system cabinets. In
most case, each modular cabinet in a system powers on as soon as soon as the power is
applied. In addition, these components power on when the NonStop BladeSystem or NonStop
NS-series system is powered on:
• NonStop I/O enclosures connected to the system
• Maintenance switches installed in a modular cabinet power
