On the ESXi end of things, shut down all the VMs running and then shutdown the hosts by right clicking --> Shut Down.

If your vCenter is a VM, you can shut it down too and then connect directly to the hosts via the thick client and shutdown the hosts.

As for the storage, what system / software version are you running?

Take a look at this KB article for many ways to shutdown your vSphere ESXi host: VMware KB: ESXi/ESX 4.x and ESXi 5.x/6.0 shutdown and reboot commands

1. Gracefully shut down the VMs

2. Enter each hosts into maintenance mode

3. Shut down each hosts.
