WARNING It is the user’s responsibility to ensure all host I/O has stopped
before powering off the system.
NOTE If using duplex or Dual Active mode, it is only necessary to
prepare one of the FCArray Controllers for shutdown.
Preparing one controller for shutdown also prepares the other
controller for shutdown. The waiting time for one controller
affects the other controller as well.

is complete.
