Starting a network element
A Start operation starts the processes of a network element instance on a server.
Software must be deployed to the server before the network element instance can
be started. A network element instance in the state of OFFLINE has software
deployed and is stopped. A network element instance in the state of
CONFIGURED does not have software deployed
1 In the System Management Console, from the configuration view, select
Network Elements > <ne_type> > <ne> > NE Maintenance.
The Maintenance window appears in the work area.
2 From the Maintenance window, select the instance to start and click Start.
The network element instance changes from OFFLINE, through a series of
states, and finishes at ACTIVE. If this is a redundant unit and the other unit is
ACTIVE already, this unit finishes at STANDBY or HOT STANDBY.
Restarting a network element
The Restart operation performs a combined stop and start. During the period of
the restart, the network element instance does not provide service. There is no
difference between performing a restart, or stopping and then starting a network
element instance.
1 In the System Management Console, from the configuration view, select
Network Elements > <ne_type> > <ne> > NE Maintenance.
2 From the Maintenance window, select the instance to restart, and click
Restart.
3 Click Yes to confirm the warning.
The network element instance changes from ACTIVE, STANDBY, or HOT
STANDBY, through a series of states, and finishes at ACTIVE. If this is a
redundant unit and the other unit is ACTIVE already, this unit finishes at
STANDBY or HOT STANDBY.
