 ARK-NA::> system configuration backup create -node ARK-NA01 -backup-type cluster -backup-name BACKUP_BEFORE_SHUTDOWN_NODE1 


ARK-NA::*> system configuration backup show
Node       Backup Name                               Time               Size
---------  -----------------------------------------
ARK-NA01   ARK-NA.8hour.2018-10-25.10_15_00.7z       10/25 10:15:00     81.52MB

Check Primary and Secondary node details and shutdown secondary nodes first

ARK-NA::> cluster ring show

Repeat All the Vservers

ARK-NA::> vserver stop -vserver VSERVER-NAME 

Disable Failover after first start

ARK-NA::> storage failover modify -node * enabled false

Login to each node and run this command

ARK-NA::> halt -node ARK-NA01 -inhibit-takeover true -ignore-quorum-warnings true -reason "Maintainance Activity Planned"

Or

ARK-NA::> system node halt -node ARK-NA01 -inhibit-takeover true -skip-lif-migration-before-shutdown true -reason Shutdown
