The system logs you out and the server reboots (typically, this takes about
five minutes). After it comes back up, in a two-server cluster, the second
server syncs to it, thus being restored to the same state.
To restore from a backup file on the cluster
1If this is a two-s erver c luster , make sure that both servers are running and
clustered. Make sure that there are no calls on the system, and that all
MCUs are out of service. See “MCU Procedures” on page 134.
2If this cluster is part of a supercluster, remove it from the supercluster.
See “Supercluster Procedures” on page215.
