Power on compute resources for a NetApp HCI system

You can power on compute resources for a NetApp HCI system after the scheduled outage is complete.
-
Power on compute nodes using the same steps you performed for powering on the storage nodes.
-
When all the compute nodes are operational, log in to the ESXi host that was running the vCSA.
-
Log in to the compute host and verify that it sees all the NetApp HCI datastores. For a typical NetApp HCI system, you should see all the ESXi local datastores and at least the following shared datastores:
NetApp-HCI-Datastore-[01,02]
-
Assuming all storage is accessible, power on the vCSA and any other required virtual machines as follows:
-
Select the virtual machines in the navigator, select all the virtual machines that you want to power on, and click the Power on button.
-
-
After you power on the virtual machines, wait for approximately 5 minutes and then use a web browser to navigate to the IP address or FQDN of the vCSA applicance.
If you do not wait long enough, a message appears stating that the vSphere Client web server is initializing.
-
After the vSphere Client initializes, log in and verify that all ESXi hosts and virtual machines are online.
