I feel like `pureadm stop` is the most straightforward option, but I could see how `--controller CT0` might be necessary in some cases.

I’m a bit confused about the options. Does `pureadm stop --secondary` actually stop the secondary controller, or is it just for failover situations?

I remember practicing a question similar to this, and I think using `--controller CT0` might be the right choice if you want to specify which controller to stop.

I think the command to stop Purity is just `pureadm stop`, but I’m not entirely sure if it needs any additional flags.

I'm a bit confused here. Is there a difference between stopping Purity and stopping the controller? I'll need to review the documentation to be sure.

Okay, I've got it. The answer is C - pureadm stop --controller CT0. That's the command to stop the Purity controller.

I'm not sure about this one. Do we need to specify the controller or secondary option? I'll have to think it through.

Purity, Schmurity. I say we just throw the whole thing out and start fresh. Who needs controllers when you've got duct tape and a dream?

Option B, all the way. Stopping the secondary controller is the only way to be sure you don't accidentally take down the whole system. Safety first, am I right?

I don't know, man. Stopping Purity sounds like a dangerous game. Might as well just let it run and see what happens. What's the worst that could happen?
