Fair enough, a belt and braces approach is always good when dealing with
critical systems.

I agree. My only thought on this one is that you can check things if you are
very worried about DBs etc. I don't know what else they have on this cluster,
they might have a couple of TB of databases that they want to check are
shutdown clean before rebooting.

Taking cluster resource groups off line before shutting down all nodes
certainly won't do any harm, but I've never seen anything which suggests you
need to do this. During full power downs we've always simply shut down the
passive node first, then the active node, and have never encountered any
problems.

Right click on the group or the main item that everything is dependant upon and
click on Take Offline or Offline or similar. That will shutdown the SQL server
on both nodes. The resources will still be assigned to the same node if you
want to bring it back up, but you just do that for each resource group /
clustered service and then drop the nodes.
If you are in an active / active cluster, the groups will fail over but won't
start.
I think you have to have the DS back up in 24 hours if I remember correctly? Or
am I getting confused again?

Subject: [THIN] Server Cluster Node shut down procedure
All
I have Citrix Data Store residing on 2 SQL Cluster nodes (Microsoft Server
Cluster). Citrix Data Store resides in SAN volume. I do have a SAN Maintenance
so I need to shutdown the 2 SQL Server nodes.
Can anybody provide the procedure of shutting down the SQL nodes? Does Cluster
Service need to be stopped prior to shutdown on both the nodes.. Is there any
priority in shutting down both servers? If so while turning on the 2 Servers
after maintenance where the Cluster Service needed to be started from?
Can any one comment on this ....
Thanks
Nagarajan
