Classification: CPC G | IPC G

Claim 0:
1. A network management card (NMC) comprising:
a network interface communicatively coupled with a hyperconverged infrastructure (HCI) environment that uses a first HCI platform;
one or more processors; and
one or more non-transitory computer-readable media storing instructions that, when executed by the one or more processors, cause the one or more processors to perform operations comprising:
receiving, from the HCI environment via the network interface, a selection of a first set of shutdown instructions from a plurality of sets of shutdown instructions, each of the plurality of sets of shutdown instructions being supported for execution by the NMC, the selected first set of the plurality of sets of shutdown instructions being configured to support shutdown processes compatible with the first HCI platform and at least a second set of the plurality of sets of shutdown instructions being configured to support shutdown processes compatible with a second HCI platform;
after receiving the selection of the first set of shutdown instructions, detecting that the HCI environment is performing a shutdown, wherein detecting that the HCI environment is performing a shutdown comprises receiving a shutdown finalization instruction from a virtual shutdown agent (VSA) operating in a virtual machine in the HCI environment; and
finalizing the shutdown at least by executing the first set of shutdown instructions.
