Do anybody have idea, how to shutdown the Netapp Stroage system. Becuase in Data Ontap software, reboot command is available but there is no command for shutdown.

Help!

halt is the command you are after.

if you have a couple of clustered simulators, then disable failover prior to shut down - cf disable

In storage system its HALT and going to keep the storage system in CFE mode. Incase of simulator its going to stop exactly.

Thanks

or once it's in CFE mode use RLM to fully power off the system

To shutdown a single controller system, simply type halt at the command prompt

To shutdaown a clustered system, simply type halt -f at the command prompt

Halt -t 0 can also be used.
