Shutdown Isilon Cluster Using Python
Do you know the easiest way to safely shutdown an Isilon cluster (including all nodes) using Python?
We have recently been told the recommended way to shutdown an Isilon cluster by hand is using the webpage by doing 'Cluster Management>Hardware Config>Cluster Tab>Shut down cluster'.
I need to shut the Isilon cluster down automatically (i.e. in software).
Do you know if there is a similar way to do this using Python? I can see there is a way to shutdown one node at a time using the Python ISI SDK, but I can't see a 'shutdown cluster' or equivalent command.
Do you know if there is such a command, in the SDK or using another method, to do this programmatically?
Many thanks,

Hi mhornsey,
I did some digging in the API and SDK code like you and only saw that same individual node shutdown command.
Speaking to some platform experts they mentioned it could be a combination of calls to achieve the same result including things like ensuring the cache is flushed before shutdown. To try to get some more info on what those commands should be we would have to know what version of OneFS you are running.
Thanks
Bryan
