Dell PowerStore Service Scripts Guide

Shut down a node (svc_node shutdown)

This service script cleanly shuts down a node running in SAN mode. All services are stopped in the appropriate order.

svc_node shutdown [-h] [-a] [-f] [-d] {local,peer}

Qualifier	Description
-h, --help	Show the help message and exit.
-a, --async	Run in asynchronous mode.
-f, --force	Ignore warnings; force shutdown which may result in data becoming unavailable.
-d, --debug	Initiate verbose logging for debugging purposes.

Qualifier	Description
local	Specify this argument to indicate that you want to turn off the local, or primary, node of an appliance.
peer	Specify this argument to indicate that you want to turn off the peer, or secondary, node of an appliance.

Appliance state	Personality	Notes
Configured	SAN	If the node is not in service mode, you see a warning that the node is running workloads. You can use the --force option to override the warning and power off the node.
Unconfigured	HCI	This operation is only supported when the script is run from the control path maintenance mode service. The script stops the PowerStore VM to allow the node to enter VMware maintenance mode.
