It its just that – then why not start the halt in the background and exit ?
Hello,  I have a need to halt a VNX5300  with a Powershell script. I am attempting to use PLINK to ssh into the box and run nas_checkup then nas_halt. Running the checkup script works find but the nas_halt script hangs PLINK. The problem is the VNX goes off the air and hangs PLINK so I don't get the nas_halt output because I don't get control back to my script. I also looked at the EMC Storage Integrator utility but I don't see a Powershell cmdlet to halt the system.  Here is the PLINK command I'm trying to use for nas_halt. I don't hit the "Write-Output" line unless I CTRL-C the script.  $Result = "" $Result = (.\plink.exe -batch -ssh $VNXDeviceInfo.DeviceName -l $VNXUsername -i $KeyFile "/nasmcd/sbin/nas_halt -f -sp now 2>&1")  Write-Output $Result >> $Logfile  Does anybody have a good way to remotely, programmatically halt the VNX?
