Shut down members in a pool
Hello,
Next week we're going to upgrade switches where our Equallogics are connected to so they need to be shutdown. I'd like to ask you few things about shutdown procedure of Equalogic members in a pool. I know that first I need to disconnect all iSCSI connections initiated by the hosts and then shut down and power off each member but...
Do I have to manually offline all the volumes in a pool before shutting down members or they will automatically set to offline after first member shutdown?
Should I shut down then power on each member in a specific order?
Does group leader matter? It should be turned off then power on last or first?
Thank you for the answers in advance!
Best regards,
Damian

Thank you Don for the quick answer!
To make sure - will volumes be set to offline (or maybe other state?) after first member in a pool shutdown?
And last question - should I wait for a completely turned off one member then shut down and power off another or can I shut down them all at one time and then power off?
