COMPAQ CONFIDENTIAL - NEED TO KNOW REQUIRED
In this example, the server is reset by selecting Reboot Server…. Remote
Console prompts you for verification, since this unconditionally resets the
server.
Figure 4-9. Reboot Server warning
Press Y to begin the server reboot process. Following the server reset event,
Remote Console automatically places you in Remote Console mode so that you
can interactively monitor the reset process. After several seconds, the server
initializes its video controller, and you see the power-on-self-test (POST)
messages of the server’s reboot process. Note that in this mode, you can control
the reset flow by entering commands at the terminal keyboard. These are
interpreted in the same way as commands entered at the server console. This
allows you to run diagnostics or pause the reset process to inspect possible error
messages.
You may choose to perform the Complete Power Cycle option for the Reboot
Server submenu. Since both IRC and the modem will lose power, IRC asks you
if you want to be called back when the power returns. A screen similar to
Figure 4-10 is displayed.
