An HCP S Series Node storage component can be paused. Pausing the component makes it inaccessible for storage tiering, although it still exists as a storage component. Once you resume the component, it becomes available for tiering again.
To pause a storage component:
1.Go to the Storage►Components page.
2.Click on an S Series Node.
3.On the Storage►Node page that opens, click on the Manage tab.
4.Click on the Pause Component button.
Once a storage component is paused, the Pause Component button becomes a Resume Component button. Click on the Resume Component button to resume communication between HCP and the storage component.
