NetApp Shutdown

I issued the halt command in OnCommand System Manager, but the web interface got stuck.
I Putty'd into the SP, and tried to issue the "halt" command, but it said it was incorrect, so I tried to run a power off command with the following message:

SP i1whlnetapp01> system power off
This will cause a dirty shutdown of your appliance.  Continue? [y/n]

If the "halt" command executed successfully, why does it consider this to be a dirty shutdown?

I then went to the "system console", and typed "?", and the below are my options. Halt doesn't seem to be one of them.
LOADER-B> ?
Invalid command: "?"
Available commands: version, update_flash, netboot, boot_diags, boot_backup, boot_primary, boot_ontap, sp, flash, bye, set, lsmod, autoboot, go, boot, load, ndp, ping, arp, ifconfig, show, savenv, saveenv, unsetenv, set-defaults, setenv, printenv, help

*** command status = -1

Open in new window

I want to assume that ONTAP shutdown successfully, but the filer still has the green and orange light ON.

I no longer see the halt command when I issue the ? Command. Does that mean that ontap was shutdown successfully?
