I'm writing a workflow regarding operations to do in case of planned maintenance where one has to stop all hypervisors and so also hosted engine vm.

At the moment I have imagined:

- shutdown all VMs but Hosted Engine

- put into maintenance and then shutdown all the hosts where Engine is not running, one by one

- put environment in global maintenance

Now the next step would be to shutdown Hosted Engine VM.

As my workflow is for users not necessarily expert with Linux I was thinking what would be an alternate method in respect of direct connect via ssh as root user and run "shutdown -h now" on engine

Is there anything I can do from gui of web admin portal or cockpit of the host where it is running?

Can I for example select to shutdown engine vm from web admin UI with a certain delay in time so that I disconnect and wait?

Or anything I can do from cockpit of the host?

Of course I'm searching for a supported flow.

Thanks in advance,

Gianluca
