The Cluster Edition allows you to shut down the cluster or an individual instance with the shutdown command.
shutdown {cluster | [instance_name]} [with {wait | nowait}]
Where
cluster – is a keyword to shut down all instances in this cluster.
instance_name – is the name of the instance you are shutting down.
For example, to shut down the cluster named “bigcluster”, enter:
shutdown cluster
To shut down the instance “ase1” (but leave the cluster running):
shutdown ase1
This form of shutdown are invalid in a clustered environment:
shutdown go
