Step 1 Stop any backups
NOTE
: Dell recommends that any infrastructure VM and database backups that may be in progress are completed before you
shut down the infrastructure VMs. For information about the default schedule, see
Default backup and retention policy.
1 Log on to the Console VM (
<
Prex
>CON01) using an account that is a member of the <
Prex
>-Ops-Admins group.
2 Open the Operations console.
3 In the Monitoring
workspace, expand System Center 2012 R2 Data Protection Manager, expand State views, and then click DPM
servers.
4 In the
Tasks pane, under DPM Server Tasks, click View Jobs.
In the View Jobs dialog box, you can see a consolidated view of all jobs for all DPM servers in the stamp.
Figure 48. View backup jobs
5 You can either wait for the jobs to complete, or click Cancel Jobs.
For more information, see Using Central Console to administer DPM in the TechNet Library (http://technet.microsoft.com/library/

Step 2 Shut down DPM VMs
From the Console VM, log on to each DPM VM, and shut down the VM.
To connect to a DPM VM, you can use Hyper-V Manager or the VMM console. To connect by using the VMM console:
1 In the VMM console, open the VMs and Services workspace.
2 Expand All Hosts, and then locate and click the backup host.
3 In the VMs pane, right-click a DPM VM, point to Connect or View, and then click Connect via Console.
Step 3 Shut down the backup hosts
Next, shut down the backup hosts using one of the two following methods.
1 Method 1: Use the Stop-Computer cmdlet.
a Log on locally to a backup host with an account that is a member of the <
Prex
>-Ops-Admins group.
b Open Windows PowerShell, and run the following command:
Stop-Computer -Force
c After the host shuts down, continue to the next backup host. Repeat these steps until all backup hosts are shut down.
2 Method 2: Connect through the iDRACs
If the iDRACs are connected, you can use the following method to shut down the backup hosts:
a From a laptop that is connected to port 39 or 40 of the switch, use a web browser to connect to the IPv4 iDRAC address of the
r
st backup host. For example, open https://192.168.164.150.
b In the portal, expand
Overview-Server-Power/Thermal, click the Power Control tab, click Graceful Shutdown, and then click
Apply.
