Steps
1. Use one of the following ways to issue a power off command:
● Using PowerStore Manager:
a. Select the Settings icon, and then select Power Down in the Cluster section.
b. On the confirmation prompt, enter the service password, and then click Power Down.
● Using service script:
a. Launch an SSH client, and connect to the appliance using the management IP address.
b. Enter the username and password that is associated with the service account, and log in.
c. Run the following command to power off the appliance:
svc_cluster shutdown
2. Check the status of the process by looking at the Node Power LEDs. The power off process is complete when the Node
Power LEDs for all nodes in the cluster are off.
3. After confirming that the cluster has shut down, disconnect the power cables from both nodes in one of the base enclosures
in the cluster, if required. Wait a few seconds and confirm that all remaining LEDs have turned off.
4. Disconnect the power cables from each of the associated expansion enclosures to power them down, if required.
5. If your cluster has more than one appliance, repeat steps 3 and 4 to disconnect power from the remaining appliances in the
cluster.

Power off a PowerStore X model cluster

Prerequisites
● Powering off a cluster results in the mapped hosts losing access to the data on the cluster. Before you begin, ensure that
you temporarily disconnect host access from all storage resources.
● When the cluster is powered off, you have no access to the PowerStore Manager, API, or CLI interfaces.
Print the power on instructions to ensure that you have the information you require to power on the cluster in a specific
order. You can also find these instructions on https://www.dell.com/powerstoredocs.
● Obtain the following information:
○ Site ID
○ Service tags of the appliances, and if applicable, the associated expansion enclosures
○ Address of the VMware vCenter server associated with the appliance
○ Associated vCenter server account credentials
