Shutting Down the FluidFS Cluster

In some cases, you might need to temporarily shut down all NAS controllers in a FluidFS cluster. For example, you might need to do this if you are moving the NAS hardware to a different location. When a FluidFS cluster is shut down, NAS volume data is no longer available to clients and clients are disconnected.

  • NOTE: Dell recommends scheduling a maintenance window and informing clients that the resources hosted by the FluidFS cluster is unavailable.
  1. Change the FluidFS cluster operation mode to No Service. For more information on changing the FluidFS cluster operation mode, see Changing the Operation Mode
  2. To shut down the NAS controllers, press and release the recessed power button at the back of each NAS controller.
    • NOTE: Do not press and hold the power button down for several seconds. Pressing and holding the power button down for several seconds does not shut down the NAS controllers.
