Resetting the Server
During the reset process:
■
It is unnecessary to power the server off and on to reset the server because a reset maintains
host power but causes the processors to reinitialize.
■
During the reset process, the server retains some register information. In case of a system
host panic, error information might be available upon system recovery.
Caution - Possible Data Loss. Resetting the server causes any unsaved data on the server to be
lost.
