Logical Solutions SCS-R manual Save Command, Reboot

Commands

6.2 save Command

The SCS systems will maintain your settings in RAM memory as long as system power is applied and the system remains in a normal operating condition. To perma- nently store your parameters, the system has a save command. In order to prevent the inadvertent loss of your precious data due to an inadvertent power failure, the root user must use the save command to write the data changes to the non-volatile Com- pact Flash memory card. This will ensure your data is maintained as desired.

The save command does not store buffered port data, which is held in RAM.

Note

The root user should run save any time that the system configuration has been changed. This includes user password changes and any command-line system administration changes

The save command is automatically run when you have executed the reboot or the poweroff commands.

6.3 reboot

During the course of administering the SCS, you may have to reboot the system to enable certain changes. For example, certain network settings require the service network restart, which is accomplished during a reboot.

reboot may be manually run at any time, if required. The save command is auto- run as a part of the reboot command. Reboot occurs immediately after your data has been saved. After the reboot has properly run the underlying commands, the system will ‘reset’ and then begin the start up process, as if you had just turned the power on.

Note

No ‘break’ commands will be sent on the serial Ports during a SCS system reboot. Your servers will not be adversely affected.

The Logical Solutions SCS systems are “break-safe”, meaning that they will not send a ‘break’ command (unless user initiated) or other data on the serial ports con- nected to your servers. A ‘break’ might cause problems with your server.

A reboot takes a short period of time, a minute or so, to complete.
