HCP System Management Help
At any time when an extended storage component is in use, you can pause, or suspend all read and write operations, on the extended storage that’s represented by any extended storage component.
In certain situations, the storage that’s represented by an extended storage component may become temporarily inaccessible, due to scheduled maintenance or due to an unforeseen problem with an extended storage device or cloud storage service endpoint. If this happens, you might need to temporarily pause, or suspend all read and write operations on, a given storage component.
While a storage component is paused, HCP considers the extended storage that’s represented by the component to be unavailable for storage tiering, and does not attempt to communicate with that device or service. Therefore, any alerts that would normally be generated by attempts to communicate with the inaccessible extended storage device or cloud storage service endpoint do not appear when the component is paused. When an extended storage component is resumed, the storage that’s represented by the component becomes available for storage tiering, HCP resumes attempting to communicate with the extended storage device or cloud storage endpoint, and if such attempts fail, HCP displays the appropriate alerts on the Components panel on the Storage page.
To pause or resume a specific extended storage component:
1.On the left side of the Storage page, click on the Components tab.
2.On the Components panel, click on the table row that contains the name of the component that you want to pause or resume.
3.At the top of the panel that opens, click on the Manage tab.
4.On the Manage panel, take one of these actions:
oTo pause a component, click on the Pause Component button. HCP pauses the component, and the panel displays the Resume Component button.
oTo resume a component that’s currently paused, click on the Resume Component button. HCP resumes communications with the component, and the panel displays the Pause Component button.
