How to shutdown MDS9100

cisco MDS 9100 ("1/2 Gbps FC/Supervisor")

System version: 3.3(4a)

Please anyone tell me how to do a gracefull shutdown of a Cisco MDS SAN switch? .  I have followed the manuals but they only talks about shutting down of a individual interfaces, but not as a whole switch. What is the command to shutdown Cisco MDS 9100 1/2/4 GB rack mount switches, which is equivalent to "sysshutdown" in Brocade switches?

Thanks in advance.

There is none...if the switch has ISLs to other switches that will remain up you may want to shutdown the ports on those switches that connect the one you are taking down so that the fabric see it leave somewhat gracefully.  One the switch is isolated, you can just turn it off and uncable it.  There is no system shutdown command.
