Powering down and powering up a VxRail
Appliance
The VxRail Manager Shut Down Cluster feature provides a simple, graceful shutdown for the
entire cluster. Detailed procedures are available in the SolVe Desktop for specific environments.
Note: Dell EMC highly recommends that you gracefully shut down all client VMs before
performing this procedure. VxRail Manager only shuts down the infrastructure VMs in the
cluster. The operator is responsible for properly shutting down all client VMs.
