Rebooting your system

Rebooting the Intel NetStructure Cache Appliance causes the underlying operating system to reboot. Rebooting the appliance is not the same as starting and stopping the caching software on your system. For instructions on how to start and stop the caching software by using the command-line interface (CLI), refer to Starting the appliance‚ on page 55 and Stopping the appliance‚ on page 55. For information on how to start or stop the caching software by using the Manager UI, refer to Using the Server Basics page‚ on page 24.

You can reboot the appliance in a controlled manner through the CLI. If you find the appliance in a state where you can’t reboot it in a controlled manner, you can reboot it by pressing the Reset button located on the front panel. You should use this reboot method as a last resort. (For exact location of the Reset button, refer to the Intel NetStructure Cache Appliance Quick Start Guide.)

Note During a reboot operation, the system maintains the state of the caching software. For example, if the caching software is running when the reboot operation is initiated, they will still be running after the reboot. On the other hand, if the caching software is not running at the time of the reboot, it will remain off after the reboot. However, during the system reboot, caching operations cease regardless of whether or not the caching software is running at the time of the reboot.
