https://community.hpe.com/t5/disk-enclosures/msa-20-shutdown-procedure/m-p/4155261#M26337 Hello,<BR /><BR />- shutdown the Server<BR />- power-off the MSA20<BR /><BR />Otherwise you could get data loss, if you power-off the MSA20 without shutdown the server. If no application is accessing a logical drive, which lies on the MSA20, you could remove the drive letter in the disk management, and power-off the MSA20 after that. That should be safe too.<BR /><BR />Hope this helps.<BR /><BR />Best regards,<BR />Patrick Wed, 05 Mar 2008 12:17:53 GMT Patrick Terlisten 2008-03-05T12:17:53Z https://community.hpe.com/t5/disk-enclosures/msa-20-shutdown-procedure/m-p/4155260#M26336 Have a MSA 20 attached to a DL380 G3 server and would like to know the proper shutdown procedure for the MSA20<BR />Thanks Tue, 04 Mar 2008 17:55:43 GMT https://community.hpe.com/t5/disk-enclosures/msa-20-shutdown-procedure/m-p/4155260#M26336 TWU 2008-03-04T17:55:43Z https://community.hpe.com/t5/disk-enclosures/msa-20-shutdown-procedure/m-p/4155261#M26337 Hello,<BR /><BR />- shutdown the Server<BR />- power-off the MSA20<BR /><BR />Otherwise you could get data loss, if you power-off the MSA20 without shutdown the server.
