This article will describe how to Shutdown and Power on your Flexxible|APPLIANCE.
Shutdown
You can shutdown appliance through Control Panel (recommended) or manually. Then we explain how to do it.
It can take some minutes depending on number of virtual machines.
To ensure that shared storage (vSan) maintains health after shutdown, the process is done by preserving the data and could take more than 60 minutes, depending on the amount of data.
Through Control Panel
Press ‘Shut down’ button and accept to confirm. This will shut down all VMs hosted in physical appliance and then stop appliance.
Manually
First, you need to connect through management console (Virtual Machine Manager Console, Failover Cluster console or HyperV Console) to stop VMs in this order:
Access level servers (Storefronts, NetScalers and others)
Backend servers
Flexxible|Orchestrators (Workers)
Flexxible|Web
Citrix Delivery Controller
Virtual Machine Manager
Domain Controllers
Also it's possible connect directly through OOB (iLO, IPMI or iDrac) and execute the following command:
Enter in powershell windows (if you are not)
Execute Stop-Computer
First, you need to connect through management console (vSphere Client) to stop VMs in this order:
Access level servers (Storefronts, NetScalers and others)
Backend servers

Flexxible|Webs
Citrix Delivery Controllers
SQL Servers (one after another)
Select every VM and then clic Shut Down Guest OS.
Power On
Once appliance is started, you must resume the paused node as shown below:
One node will be Paused.
Click on More information and Resume.
The two nodes must be Running.
Once appliance is started, Infrastructure VMs should be start. All VMs have startup priority configured through Failover Cluster Manager.
Domain Controllers
Virtual Machine Manager
Citrix Delivery Controller

Backend servers
Access level servers (Storefronts, NetScalers and others)
If you have more servers and you want to configure startup priority you can do it without affect VMs listed before.
Once appliance is started, you must resume the paused nodes as shown below:
Two nodes are Paused.
Click on More information and Resume.
Repeat until all three nodes are Running.
After all nodes are up, you need to connect through management console (vSphere Client or Control Panel) to start VMs in this order:
SQL Servers
Citrix Delivery Controllers
Flexxible|Webs
Flexxible|Orchestrators (Workers)
Backend servers
Access level servers (Storefronts, NetScalers and others)
