[All Dell PowerStore Maintenance Achievement Questions]

While on-site installing a Dell EMC PowerStore system, the node A and B embedded module fault LEDs are alternating blue and amber (blue for 3 seconds). What does this

indicate?

Show Suggested Answer Hide Answer
Suggested Answer: C

When the node A and B embedded module fault LEDs on a Dell EMC PowerStore system are alternating between blue and amber, with the blue LED illuminated for 3 seconds, it indicates that the system is not initialized1. This LED behavior is part of the system's design to communicate its current state to the user or technician on-site.

The initialization process is a critical step during the installation of a PowerStore system. It involves setting up the system's configuration, including network settings, storage pools, and other essential parameters. Until this process is completed, the system cannot perform storage operations or host any virtual machines.

To resolve this and initialize the system, the following steps should be taken:

Connect to the system through the PowerStore Manager using a supported web browser.

Complete the Initial Configuration Wizard (ICW), which guides you through the necessary steps to initialize the system.

Once the ICW is completed, the system will finalize its configuration and the LEDs should reflect a normal operational state.

For more detailed guidance on the initialization process and understanding the LED indicators, refer to the Dell PowerStore Installation and Service Guide2. This document provides comprehensive instructions on installing and configuring the PowerStore system, ensuring it is ready for use.

Aha, the system is definitely not initialized! It's probably just waiting for someone to plug in the 'On' switch, you know, the one labeled 'Initiate Bootup Sequence.'

Hmm, the alternating blue and amber LEDs are a clear sign that the nodes are in service mode. I bet they're just taking a coffee break and trying to look fancy while they do it.

Ah, the old blue and amber LED dance! Clearly, the system is trying to do the robot and tell us it's in degraded mode. I bet the engineers at Dell EMC had a dance-off during the design phase.
