Consider the following when powering on and powering off cluster hardware.
Use shut down and boot procedures in your Sun Cluster system administration documentation for nodes in a running cluster.
Use the power-on and power-off procedures in the manuals that shipped with the hardware only for systems that are newly installed or are in the process of being installed.
After the cluster is online and a user application is accessing data on the cluster, do not use the power-on and power-off procedures listed in the manuals that came with the hardware.
