Oracle Acme Packet 1100 Hardware Installation And Maintenance Guide

Rebooting, Resetting, and Power Cycling
Reboot
Rebooting the Acme Packet 1100 shuts down the system in an orderly fashion and then starts it
up again. The operating system gracefully shuts down as processes are terminated and the file
system is stopped. While the system and its processes are stopped, all call processing is
immediately halted. You may therefore wish to perform tasks that call for a reboot during off-
peak maintenance hours.
Rebooting the Acme Packet 1100 is required every time you upgrade with a new version of the
Acme Packet 1100 software.
Before rebooting the Acme Packet 1100, save your configurations. The save-config command
is used to save the configuration in the example below.
For a full explanation and all options for the reboot command used in the example below, refer
to the ACLI Reference Guide.
To reboot the Acme Packet 1100:
1. Log in as superuser as described in the chapter on startup procedures.
2. Save any configuration changes you have made in the ACLI by typing save-config and
then press Enter.
ORACLE# save-config

System Reset
Resetting the Acme Packet 1100 via the reset button on the rear of the chassis performs a cold
reboot. This is the equivalent to disconnecting the power from the system and then
reconnecting it. There is no orderly termination of tasks, and the system shuts down abruptly.
You should only perform a reset of the Acme Packet 1100 in this way when it becomes unstable
and there is no other possible means of gaining administrative control.
