Shut down a VxRail cluster

Shut down your VxRail cluster from VxRail Manager.

About this task

See SolVe Online for VxRail to generate a VxRail procedure. When you shut down a cluster, VxRail Manager automatically:

  • Shuts down related VMs and services.
  • Performs system health diagnostics and maintenance mode diagnostics.
  • Indicates any errors or conditions that prevent shutting down.

Steps

  1. From the VMware vSphere Client, click Hosts and Clusters and select the VxRail cluster.
  2. Select the Actions menu next to the cluster name, and select VxRail > Shut Down.
  3. 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.
  4. If the shutdown precheck process fails, VxRail Manager lists error messages. Resolve any issues and retry by clicking Back and then Next.
    You can also click Ignore if the error is unimportant and then click Next.
  5. On the Confirm Operation page, click Next to initiate the shutdown.
  6. Click Close to exit.
    Wait for all the LEDs to turn off.

Results

When the shutdown process is complete, VxRail Manager indicates that shutdown is successful.

If the process does not complete successfully, follow the on-screen prompts to correct any errors.
