Shutting down

Shutting down the Storage Controller in a controller module ensures that a proper failover sequence is
used, which includes stopping all I/O operations and writing any data in write cache to disk. If the
Storage Controller in both controller modules is shut down, hosts cannot access the system's data. Perform
a shut down before removing a controller module or powering down the system.
CAUTION: You can continue to use the CLI when either or both Storage Controllers are shut down, but
information shown might be invalid.
