Shutting down HCP
When you shut down HCP, the hardware configuration determines whether the nodes power off automatically. To complete the action, you may need to power off each node manually after shutting down the system.
To ensure that HCP has enough time to shut down cleanly, wait a few minutes before powering nodes off manually. If a node is connected to a console, the console displays System halted when you can safely power off the node.
If you shut down HCP while objects are being stored, the repository may then contain incomplete objects. Therefore, if possible, before shutting down HCP, you should notify all tenant administrators about the upcoming shutdown. The tenant administrators can then notify namespace users to suspend all client activity before the shutdown occurs.
If you take an entire SAIN system offline, including the storage system, you need to power the storage system and, if applicable, the Fibre Channel switches back on before powering on the nodes.
