Kart, I opened an SR about this and it turns out to be intented behaviour (despite the documentation saying that the clusterware should try to stop all resources gracefully). The only way to do a clean shutdown is to shutdown the databases first with srvctl. This should normally be possible using the clusterware owner and the srvctl from the GI home. You can create a script that retrieves all databases in the cluster and loops through them to shut them down.
