Remote shut down (not stop) gateway appliance VM?

Question

Hi,  
Is there a way to remotely shut down the appliance virtual machine? I know I can stop the gateway but I have a peculiar VMware situation in which the host is inaccessible but the VM is running. SSH appears to be disabled on the appliance (unless there's a way to use a key file?). I'd prefer to shut down the VM rather than abruptly cycling the host.  
Thanks

Answer

There is no API to shut down the gateway appliance VM. If Gateway status is in "Running", stop the Gateway through the AWS console or CLI first, before you power cycle the VMware host.
