Clariion AX4-5f mirrorview/Synch shutdown order
A customer wants to perform an orderly shutdown of 2 AX4-5 arrays, with mirrored LUNs (mirrorview/Synch).
1 has only source LUNs, the other has the mirror copies.
Which one should be shut down first?
They do not have enough skills to go into Navisphere Manager and stop or pause the replication first.

Source Array.
If I were you I would take a remote session and stop layered applications then gracefully power down the storage system for my Customer.

I am on holiday, so will not be able to asist them, even if they were
willing to accept the charges for my intervention during a weekend.
And my boss doesn't like me working for free, so i'm already doing more
than i'm supposed to by providing them a shutdown procedure.
Now i just need to find some documentation on the shutdown procedure, with
pictures, so i can show them which switches to use for powering of the
arrays, to make sure they cut power to the SPSes and nothing else.
Thanks for the help.
I never set up replication myself, so i wasn't sure about the order in
which to power down the arrays, if the mirroring wasn't stopped first.

If the Mirrors have been setup with "Auto Restore", then if you power off the DR array, it will fracture the mirror. Then you can shut off the source array. When you turn on the arrays, start with the Source array first, let it come up completely, then start the DR array. When both are up and running, the mirrors should re-sync.
