Data Center Shutdown Procedure

ALL -

We have 2 data centers across coast to coast. We are power shutting down 1
data center for 12hrs.

We have 6500 (Core) running VSS, Nexus switches, 4500 switches, 3750 switches
to name a few.

Now the question is - should we physically shut down the switches and
routers?

My concern is that once the power comes up and if the switch have to be
physically rebooted again, the problem is that spanning tree will not
reconverge or we might have a network meltdown.

What will someone recomemend in this situation?
