About this task

Shut Down.
-
From the
Shut Down Cluster box, click
Next to continue shutting down.
VxRail Manager begins a precheck of the system and displays the progress on the
Validate page.
-
If the shutdown precheck process fails, VxRail Manager lists error messages. Resolve any issues and retry by clicking
