ONTAP Select shutdown process for scheduled maint

KiranPatil — Wed, 04 Jun 2025 10:10:49 GMT

Hello

we have Guest OS: Data ONTAP9.8P5, running as vm in VMware vCenter

I found KB for shutdown of physical one

none address Ontap select as specialized KB

Even support told me follow the physical one

so i came up with below, if anyone does this Please buddy check

### ssh to anyone of of the cluster nodes ( i have 2 of them )

system node autosupport invoke -node * -type all -message "MAINT=8h Power Maintenance"

system node halt -node * -skip-lif-migration-before-shutdown true -ignore-quorum-warnings true -inhibit-takeover true

Post this shutdown both vms from the vCenter console.

Thanks,

Kiran

Great feedback. I'd suggest sending via KB feedback.
