Order to power on SAN

[Feljav]

What is the order to power on a SAN?

Hi,
in general:
1. san switches - wait for the power/boot finish
2. the management server - wait for the complete boot
3. storage power circuit breakers power on
3. storage disk enclosures - wait for the disk initialization
4. controllers (e.g. HP EVA the master controller first - wait 10 seconds and then the slave controller)
5. check all via the management server

More generic-

1) SAN switches
2) Storage Devices (tape, arrays, etc)
3) Hosts
