Shutting down HCP means shutting down the system and powering off the nodes. After shutting down HCP, you need to manually power the nodes back on to start it again.
Restarting HCP means shutting down and restarting the system without powering off the nodes.
While HCP is shut down or in the process of restarting, clients have no access to the data in it, and the System Management Console is unavailable.
Under normal operating conditions, you don’t need to shut down or restart HCP. However, situations where shutting down the system may be appropriate include:
•You are physically moving the HCP system to another location and need to shut it down first.
•You need to perform maintenance on the HCP power sources.
When you shut down or restart the HCP system, you are required to specify a reason for the action.
