VS1 Installation, Configuration & Operating Guide 47
CREATING AN EMERGENCY BOOT FLOPPY
An Emergency Boot Floppy must be created to restart the TVS in case of system failure. The disk is
created on-site with a monitor and keyboard connected to the TVS. To create an Emergency Boot
Floppy you need one high-density, write-enabled disk. The procedure takes approximately 15
minutes and must occur during downtime. Complete the following steps:
1. If the server is running with the Command prompt displayed (Command - >), type stop or exit
and then press
ENTER on the keyboard.
or
2. If the server is not running and the DOS prompt is displayed (C:\>), press the RESET button
the server.
• The server restarts.
3. When the VS1 Options menu appears, press 2 to select the VS1 Configuration option.
4. On the VS1 Configuration menu, press 4 to select the Create an Emergency Boot Floppy
option.
5. Insert the high-density, write-enabled disk into Drive A of the TVS, and then press ENTER.
• The TVS formats the disk, then copies the necessary files to it. In addition to copying the
files needed to boot the TVS, a copy of the system configurations is saved to the disk. This
procedure takes several minutes to complete.
6. Remove the disk when prompted. Label the disk and store it in a safe place.
7. Press any key when the process is complete.
Note Voice Mail and SMDR data cannot be saved while the system is operating from an
Emergency Boot Floppy.
8. When the VS1 Configuration menu (or TVS Startup menu) appears, press 0 to restart the
server.
