It can take as long as 20 minutes to halt the server, depending on the configuration of the
VNX. Wait until the command completes before continuing. If the Control Station halted
successfully, the HyperTerminal session will be unresponsive.
If the Control Station restarts after the nas_halt command, then go to step 6. If the Control
Station has halted successfully, then go to the next step to restart the Control Station.
