Shuts down the Storage Controller in a controller module. There seems to be command-line facility shutdown to accomplish that via SSH on ME4 systems, check the relevant Dell EMC PowerVault ME4 Series Storage System CLI Guide. Can anyone give some pointers on how to accomplish that in an unattended manner? What we are unable to figure out, is how we can trigger a Powervault shutdown at the end of the entire shutdown procedure. In any case, we have found out that we can trigger automated shutdowns of the ESXi hosts (including VMs of course). It can also provide juice for more than an hour in case of power failure. This is also a different beast to what we had back in the day. The entire cluster is protected by an (over-dimensioned) Eaton 93PS 8kVA network-connected UPS.

Now, we are trying to accomplish a similar task on our new setup, comprised from a Dell Powervault ME4024, connected over FC to two physical hosts running ESXi. Some years ago we had had physical servers with internal storage connected to a USB/LAN UPS and whenever he had a power loss we would first trigger a clean server shutdown to preserve data integrity and then trigger a UPS shutdown altogether (to preserve UPS batteries). I'm rather new in this world of SAN devices/ESXi hypervisors and stuff.
