Shutting down the Secure Agent machine and cloud resources

When you shut down the Secure Agent machine, ensure that all cloud resources that were provisioned for an advanced cluster are deleted.
To properly shut down the Secure Agent machine, perform the following tasks:
  1. 1In Monitor, stop the advanced cluster if the cluster is running.
  2. 2In Administrator, stop the Secure Agent.
  3. 3On the cloud platform, shut down the Secure Agent machine.
If you shut down the Secure Agent machine when the cluster is running, only the cluster nodes are shut down. Other resources remain on the cloud, such as any networks, staging data and log files, and storage devices.
If you shut down the Secure Agent machine before you stop the cluster or before you stop the Secure Agent, restart the Secure Agent machine and make sure that the Secure Agent is running. Then use Monitor to stop the cluster. After the cluster stops, stop the Secure Agent and shut down the Secure Agent machine.
Note: When you restart the Secure Agent machine, the cluster status becomes Error in Monitor.
