CentOS - Aug 2012 - shutting down a cluster member for maintenance on VMware

I need to shutdown a cluster member for maintenance. The member is a VM and uses
VM fencing, which tries to reboot the VM as part of its operation. What would be
the best method to shutdown this cluster member to perform maintenance on the
servers?

I have already moved the cluster services to other nodes.

Thank you,
