/CLUSTER_SHUTDOWN /NOCLUSTER_SHUTDOWN (default) Shuts down the entire cluster. When you use the /CLUSTER_SHUTDOWN qualifier, each node suspends activity just short of shutting down completely, until all other nodes in the cluster have reached the same point in the shutdown procedure. You must specify this option on every cluster node. If any one node is not shut down completely, the clusterwide shutdown cannot occur. You should use the SET ENVIRONMENT/CLUSTER command before you issue a SHUTDOWN NODE/CLUSTER_SHUTDOWN command to ensure that all nodes in the cluster are shutting down.
