Abstract
Techniques for network-management-card-assisted shutdown of hyperconverged infrastructure (HCI) are disclosed. A network management card (NMC) includes: a network interface communicatively coupled with an HCI environment; one or more processors; and one or more non-transitory computer-readable media storing instructions. The instructions, when executed by the one or more processors, cause the one or more processors to perform operations including: receiving, from the HCI environment via the network interface, a selection of a set of shutdown instructions from multiple sets of shutdown instructions supported by the NMC, the multiple sets of shutdown instructions being configured to support shutdown processes for at least two different HCI platforms; detecting that the HCI environment is performing a shutdown; and finalizing the shutdown at least by executing the set of shutdown instructions.
