Shutting down a management group

Safely shut down a management group to ensure the safety of your data. Shutting down lets you:
Perform maintenance on storage systems in that group
Move storage systems around in your data center
Perform maintenance on other equipment such as switches or UPS units
Prepare for a pending natural disaster
HP also recommends creating a script to configure a safe shut down in the case of a controlled
power down by a UPS. See
from HP LeftHand Software Downloads:

Shutting down a management group also relates to powering off individual storage systems and
maintaining access to volumes. See the HP LeftHand Storage Command Line Interface User Guide,
for more information.
Prerequisites
Disconnect any hosts or servers that are accessing volumes in the management group.
Wait for any restriping of volumes or snapshots to complete.
Stop managers on storage systems that you plan to remove from the management group. You
may want to add a FOM or start a Virtual Manager on a different storage system to maintain
quorum and the best fault tolerance. See
1. Log in to the management group that you want to shut down.
2. Click Management Group Tasks on the Details tab, and select Shut Down Management Group.
3. Click Shut Down Group.

If volumes are still connected to servers or hosts

After you click Shut Down Group, a confirmation window opens, listing volumes that are still
connected and that will become unavailable if you continue shutting down the management group.
