Shutting down a node

CAUTION:

Shutdown should only be used at the time service is going to be performed on a node. Restarting a node requires the node to be physically power cycled.

Shutting down single node will cause a performance degradation of the system. It may also cause an outage if host connectivity is not properly configured.

NOTE:

A controller node cannot be shut down from the Actions menu while an update is in progress.

Procedure
  1. On the main menu, select Controller Nodes.
  2. Select a node in the list pane.
  3. On the Actions menu, select Shutdown.
  4. Follow the instructions on the dialog that opens.
