Shutting down a cluster

You can manually shut down all active nodes in a storage cluster using the NetApp Element Configuration extension point.

Before you begin

You have stopped I/O and disconnected all iSCSI sessions.

Note: If you want to restart rather than shut down the cluster, you can select all nodes from the Cluster page in the NetApp Element Management extension point and perform a restart.

Steps

Select NetApp Element Configuration > Clusters.
Select the check box for the cluster you want to shut down.
Click Actions.
In the resulting menu, click Shutdown.
Confirm the action.
