I thought I had a document earlier that outlined the correct steps to perform a full system shutdown (all three nodes + vmware hosts) and power on procedure

I'm going to be moving servers to another physical location and would like to avoid any surprises.
I want to be able to shut down all nodes and bring them all back up without needing a resync.

Does this require dismounting the datastores in ESXi to ensure no data writes on the StarWind side?

And you can get back the document again if someone stole it :D
Here is the link: http://www.starwindsoftware.com/images/ ... hanges.pdf
You should refer to the pages 10-22, which should give you the main guidelines.
