Shut down the appliance from the UI

Use this procedure to perform a graceful shutdown of the appliance from the UI.

NOTE:

For a clustered appliance, this action shuts down both the standby appliance and the active appliance, in that order.

However, if the standby appliance is not connected, this action powers off the active appliance. The only way to restart it is to power it back on. If the active appliance is restarted but the standby appliance is still not connected, you must activate it from the Maintenance console.

Prerequisites
  • Privileges: Infrastructure administrator, Software administrator

  • Ensure that all tasks have been completed or stopped, and that all other users are logged off.

Procedure
  1. From the main menu, select Settings > Appliance.
  2. Select Actions > Shut down.

    A dialog box opens to inform you that all users will be logged out and ongoing tasks will be canceled.

  3. Select Yes, shut down in the dialog box.
  4. Observe the shutdown and verify it.
