Need ability to shutdown IBM Knowledge Catalog (IKC) in an orderly fashion

Today, there is no documented way today to shutdown IKC

The customer requires a way to shutdown IKC to perform server room maintenance.

Desjardins is asking questions about the order and steps to shutdown CP4D (IKC, datastage, foundation…)
TS017408688. The response were getting is there is no documented way to shutdown IKC. To issue a shutdown of the nodes.
This probably caused some un-orderly shutdown and had to recover TS017063515
This is on-prem and they need to do maintenance at some point and need to shutdown the cluster.

His plan is to shutdown the services and then shutdown OpenShift.

Official doc

CP4D shows no shutdown option with cli or oc patch
