Clean shutdown for EqualLogic PS5000X
We recently installed 3 EqualLogic PS5000x SANs. We need to relocate them. We have no idea how to perform a clean shutdown of them. Can some one please help and provide best practice.
Thanks!
Thanks!

The following shutdown procedure should be used to prevent the unnecessary lose of data.
Problem
* What is the proper PS Series array shutdown process?
Resolution
* Disconnect all hosts from iSCSI. (Log off volumes.)
* Use a Telnet/SSH/serial connection to connect to the array.
* Issue the CLI command: shutdown
o If using Telnet,/SSH, you will lose the connection and won't see the shutdown process complete.
o Ping the group IP address to confirm the array is no longer responding to requests.
* Power down both power supplies on the array.
This guy also has a thread on the subject:

Good luck!

The array has been halted.
You can safely power off the array or type any key to restart the array.
