Hi
If i need to shut down both nodes of our cluster and the external storage,
what is the best practice for restarting?

Do I:

a) Start the disk array first, then one of the servers. Then start the
second server once the first first server is up and has control

b) start a server first, then the disk array, then the second server

Thanks

Ian
 
Ian,

Option A. You definitely want the disks to operational and presented to the
servers when they are starting up. Thanks.
