start-cluster needed after stop-cluster?

$

For disk maintenance, I need to shut down both nodes of a SQL 2014 active/active cluster (DB + AS services). Not only maintenance mode for FCI but both VMs shutdown (infrastructure requirement).

  1. Shutdown applications
    2. Failover one node to the other (ends up with 2 instances on second node). Then can shutdown VM1(node that does not contain any cluster resource)
    3. On remaining VM shutdown cluster service (from the Cluster Manager) or PS Stop-Cluster
    4. Shutdown VM2


    5. restart first node (both instances restart on this node) 
    6. Restart second node. 
    7. Failover instance to second node

My question is if I stop-cluster before VM shutdown do I have to start-cluster once the VMs rebooted or the cluster will automatically start? I do not have environment to test.

the cluster resources contain only SQL + AS + drives into the resources as per below.

Thank you,
