Use the following procedure to power off the external storage system when server I/O continues to the primary storage system.

  1. On the primary and GAD secondary storage systems, disconnect the quorum disks.

    Command example: raidcom disconnect external_grp -ldev_id 0x9999 -IH0

    Note: When you disconnect a quorum disk, SIM (def0zz) (quorum disk blockade) might be issued (zz: quorum disk ID). If this SIM is issued, complete the SIM after powering on the storage system and reconnecting the quorum disk.
  2. Confirm that the quorum disks are disconnected on the primary and secondary storage systems.
    Command example: raidcom get path -path_grp 1 -IH0
  3. Power off the external storage system.
