    I don't see any official shutdown sequence in the VCF or NSX docs, but my process for the shutdown has always been:

    1. Edges
    2. Non-Primary Managers
    3. Primary Manager

    And startup:

    1. First NSX-T manager, wait until the startup is fully complete and the GUI is available
    2. Next 2 Managers
    3. Edges

    From what I've seen breaking this process, NSX-T has been pretty tolerant when violating this order. Edges seem to run "fine" for a while without manager connectivity as long as nothing else changes (DRS manual!) and Quorum seems to function well on the NSX managers even when mismatched startup times are used.

    It's a pretty durable platform all things considered, but if you're feeling risk-averse I'd recommend this.
