Server Reboot menu | Compaq 281862-002 instruction

4-13

This debug information can be easily captured for later analysis by using the Copy to Clipboard function of the terminal emulator application. In Insight Manager this can be done by clicking Copy, located at the bottom of the terminal window.

From visual inspection of the server console, you can see that the operating system is off line. To restore this server to an online state, it must rebooted. This can be done by returning to the Main Menu and selecting the Reboot Server… menu option.

To return to the Main Menu, press the [Atn] Esc sequence, described earlier in this chapter. If you are using the terminal window from within Insight Manager, click Switch Consoles.

After switching to the Main Menu, select Reboot Server… . This invokes the Reboot Server submenu shown in Figure 4-8.

Figure 4-8. Server Reboot menu

From this menu, you can reboot the server in one of two ways:

■Perform a low-level reset of the server and all connected peripherals. This is the same type of reset that occurs following an Automatic Server Recovery event. Although the server itself is reset, you remain connected and can monitor the reboot process from within Remote Console mode.

■Cycle Power to the Server is available on servers that support this feature. Since both Remote Console and the modem rely on server power to function, you cannot remain connected to the server through this type of reset. However, Remote Console can be configured to automatically reestablish the connection when power returns.
