      <description>&lt;HTML&gt;&lt;HEAD&gt;&lt;/HEAD&gt;&lt;BODY&gt;&lt;P&gt;Thanks a lot for your quicky reply!&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;I still have a few questions. Could you help me?&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;1. Our vSphere structure is like below. As I understand, I should:&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;- shutdown other VMs through vSphere web client&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;- then connect to Esxi host directly to shutdown the AD and vCenter Server&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Is this correct?&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;2. Is the FQDN of ESXi Host like "&lt;STRONG&gt;esxservername.xxxx.com&lt;/STRONG&gt;" as shown on above picture?&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;I tried to connect by &lt;A _jive_internal="true" href="https://communities.vmware.com/" name="&amp;amp;lpos=apps_scodevmw : 90" rel="nofollow" style="background-position: repeat; color: #3399cc; font-family: proxima-nova,Arial,sans-serif; font-size: 14px; font-style: normal; font-weight: 400; padding-right: calc(0.35ex + 12px); text-align: left; text-indent: 0px; border-color: #3399cc; border-style: none;"&gt;https://&lt;/A&gt;&lt;SPAN style="color: #666666; font-family: proxima-nova,Arial,sans-serif; font-size: 14px; font-style: normal; font-weight: 400; text-align: left; text-indent: 0px; border-color: #666666; border-style: none;"&gt;&amp;lt;FQDN of ESXi host&amp;gt;. I got below login screen. &lt;/SPAN&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;SPAN style="color: #666666; font-family: proxima-nova,Arial,sans-serif; font-size: 14px; font-style: normal; font-weight: 400; text-align: left; text-indent: 0px; border-color: #666666; border-style: none;"&gt;Does loging into this page mean I am connecting to the Esxi host directly?&lt;/SPAN&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;3. After I logged into the Esxi host, is it a web based UI, or it is a linux command console?&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; If it is linux command console, which command which I use to shutdown the AD Vm and vCenter Sever inside the Esxi host?&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;4. When the web client will be available after the Esxi host power is ON?&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; Once the power is on, then I login into Esxi host direclty again and start AD Vm and vCenter Server. At this time, will the vSphere web client be available for visit again?&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Thanks a lot in advance!&lt;/P&gt;&lt;/BODY&gt;&lt;/HTML&gt;</description>

So we need to shutdown our server.

Virtual machines are in the same level as esxi hosts. The vCenter server is also one virtual machine.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;To shutdown the whole system, my plan is to first shutdown all those VMs (including the vCenter Server VM), and then shutdown the 2 ESXi hosts. But My concern is that whether the web client is still working after I shutdown the vCenter Server VM? &lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;I thougt vSphere web client will not working until vCenter Server is on. If this is true, then what is the correct way to shutdown the whole system? &lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Thanks a lot in advance.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;/BODY&gt;&lt;/HTML&gt;</description>
