When performing tasks on a node that require it to be shutdown or restarted, do so
gracefully.
Operating system upgrades and patches, as well as other maintenance activities, like
part replacement, require shutting down or rebooting a node.
Prepare the server for a patching or maintenance operation (such as a part
replacement) by entering the node into maintenance mode and shutting down/
rebooting the node in a graceful fashion.
