An example method is provided to perform power management for a distributed storage system accessible by a cluster in a virtualized computing environment. The method may comprise, in response to detecting that a power-off requirement of a host from the cluster is satisfied, retrieving virtual machine data from a first storage resource of the host, storing the virtual machine data on a second storage resource of the host, and powering off one or more components of the host. The second storage resource is configured to be accessible when the one or more components of the host are powered off.
