Powering On the System

Power on the ztC Edge system at the physical console of each physical machine (PM), or node. Doing so performs an orderly startup by first booting the system software and then starting the virtual machines (VMs) on the system. (To power off a system, see Shutting Down the System.)

Caution: If you are powering on the system for the first time to deploy it, follow the instructions in the deployment guide for your system. (If needed, see Deploying the System for additional details.)
Note: If a PM loses power because you disconnect the power cord or AC mains power is lost, each PM in a dual-node system, and the one PM in a single-node system, is set to power on automatically as soon as power is restored. The system software and VMs restart automatically.

To power on a ztC Edge system

  1. Ensure that all the required network cables are connected. In a dual-node system, check that the network cables are connected to both PMs.
  2. Press the power button on the front panel of the PM(s) in the system.
  3. Ensure that the PWR LED on the front panel of the PM(s) is lit.
