Perform maintenance blocking for storage nodes as follows.

Before performing maintenance blocking by using the VSP One SDS Block Administrator, verify that maintenance blocking is possible according to Verifying the conditions for performing storage node maintenance blocking.

  • Required role: Service

  1. Blockade the storage node in the Storage Nodes list tab (in the Storage Nodes window) or Storage Node detailed information window by either of the following means.
    • In the Storage Nodes list tab in the Storage Nodes window, select the storage node (one node) to be blocked, click the preceding icon to the right of the Monitor link icon, and then select Maintenance Blockade.

    • In the Storage Nodes list tab in the Storage Nodes window (displayed as inventory view), click the preceding icon displayed for the storage node to be blocked, and then select Maintenance Blockade.

    • Click the preceding icon in the Storage node detailed information window for the storage node to be edited, and then select Maintenance Blockade.

    The storage node maintenance blocking dialog is displayed.

  2. Verify the displayed information, and then click Submit.

    The storage node maintenance blocking dialog is closed and storage node maintenance blocking is performed.

  3. When the following "Completed" message is displayed, processing is completed.
    • Successfully maintenance blockaded for storage node.
    • (Cloud) The VM in the storage node is turned off.

    • (Bare metal) The storage node is powered off.

  4. If you are logged out during blockage processing, verify the Jobs window.

    In some cases, storage node maintenance blocking takes a long time, which might cause logout.

    In the Jobs window, verify a job whose PATH is “/v1/objects/storage-nodes/<id>/actions/block-for-maintenance/invoke”*. If the STATUS is "Completed", storage node maintenance blocking is successfully completed.

    * <id> represents the ID of the target storage node.

    CAUTION:

    The Jobs window only shows jobs performed by the user. Therefore, once you are logged out, log in as the same user as when performing storage node maintenance blocking.
