You can shut an instance down gracefully, which allows transactions to complete. For example, to shut down “ase1”, enter:
shutdown instance ase1
To shut down the instance immediately, without waiting for transactions to complete, enter:
shutdown instance ase1 nowait
If you shut down the last instance in a cluster, the cluster status changes to down. If you shut down the instance on the node hosting the cluster coordinator, another node hosts the coordinator.
