Simple question, what order to shutdown appliances

Hi. We have to move our VRNI infrastructure to a new cluster, and because of EVC issues we cannot do it live.

Could someone tell the shutdown/startup order please? Do we shutdown the Proxies first, then the Platform? And startup is the same order? Thanks,,,

The shutdown order is outlined in this KB which is required for backup.

Hi. Thank you. So it sounds like Proxy is shutdown first. Then Platform. Then Proxy is started, then Platform. We are small and only have 1 Platform and 1 Proxy. Thanks,,,

Please perform a graceful shutdown of Proxy (RIght CLick VM -- > Shutdown Guest OS) and after completion then graceful shutdown of the platform.

After moving to the new cluster, power up platform first then proxy.
