Power Cycling
Power Cycling the Acme Packet 6300/6350 is the process of turning the chassis off
and then turning it on by plugging and then unplugging the AC power cords from the
power supplies. It is imperative that you wait at least 10 seconds between power down
and power up to ensure that all components are completely powered down before
restart.
Note:
Power cycling the Acme Packet 6300/6350 without performing a halt
operation can lead to data loss to the storage device. To ensure stable
operation a file system check will be performed on the next power up. This
check may take several minutes to complete, and should not be interrupted.
Standby Mode for HA Nodes
When performing hardware maintenance on the Acme Packet 6300/6350, it is best
to minimize any risk of interrupting network traffic or losing data. If the Acme Packet
6300/6350 is configured as an HA node, you should only work on the Acme Packet
6300/6350 that is in standby mode.
There are two ways to determine the HA state of each Acme Packet 6300/6350 in an
HA pair.
1. If you are in the same physical location as the Acme Packet 6300/6350, you can
view the graphic display on the front panel. The display will indicate the HA state.
There is no (S) designation for an active system, but there is for a standby system.
2. If you are not in the same physical location as the Acme Packet 6300/6350, you
can use the ACLI show health command. The output of this command indicates
the current HA state of the Acme Packet 6300/6350.
Once you have determined that the Acme Packet 6300/6350 due for maintenance
is in standby mode, you can continue with the appropriate procedures to replace a
part.
If you need to perform maintenance on the active Acme Packet 6300/6350, you
need to manually force the two Acme Packet 6300/6350s to switch HA states.
Performing a switchover forces the currently active Acme Packet 6300/6350 to
