Follow the tasks listed below if a cluster shutdown is needed:
- Verify the cluster status with the cluster status command on a CVM.
- If there are issues with the cluster, you can run the NCC checker with the command nutanix@cvm$ ncc health_checks run_all.
- Verify cluster data resiliency status on the Prism Home dashboard.
- Shut down all guest VMs (aside from CVMs).
- Shutdown the cluster with the command cluster stop. Use the cluster status command to see the current status of all cluster processes.
- Cluster stop command nutanix@cvm$ cluster stop
- Cluster status command nutanix@cvm$ cluster status
- Power off CVMs with the command nutanix@cvm$ sudo shutdown -P now.
