    Greetings Angel, It looks like you should shut the guests down with the following command, run on the host:

     

    tmsh modify vcmp guest all state provisioned

     

    Then, shut the entire host (or chassis) down with:

     

    clsh shutdown now

     

    This information comes from this solution on Askf5:

    Also, probably best to wait a minute when changing all of the guest states.

     

    Hope this is helpful, Kevin

Quick follow up question :)

 

For the same Viprion system but WITHOUT VCMP JUST LTM, would it be enough with a simple and direct "clsh shutdown -hP" command to halt and poweroff the whole system? or it's recommended other shutdown procedure?

 

Thanks.
