SimpliVity OVC Shutdown times

Hi

My experience with OVC shutdown duration is that it takes quite a long time and I'll like to know if there are ways to speed this up.

With a two node cluster I can shutdown all the running VM's in about 5mins (I don't have that many) and this will leave me with just the 2 OVCs. I shutdown the first OVC using he svt-shutdown-safe option and this can take about 10-15mins. It seems a little quicker if I using the vCenter plugin to shut it down rather than SSH commands - is that expected?

However, the second OVC (which I must use SSH for as I have noe shutdown the vCenter server) takes about 20mins. So this means that shutting down the two OVCs can take over 30mins  - and this is after I've already stopped all my virtual machines. Is there a quicker way to gracefully shutdown the OVCs once I have no running VM's? I don't want to risk just powering off as this may impact the integrity of the environment when I start things back up again

many thanks
