This topic describes how to reboot the Message
Storage Server (MSS) from the console or, if you have the ability
to access your system remotely, from a web browser inside your intranet
firewall, or through PPP connection outside your firewall. A complete
server reboot takes approximately 15 minutes to complete.
Avaya recommends that you reboot the server once every 90 days.
The reboot refreshes the MSS operating system's resources and keeps
applications running reliably.
Caution!
You cannot reboot your server if a backup is running.
Automatic unattended backups occur at 3:05 AM, so avoid rebooting
the system between 2:30 a.m. and 4:00 a.m. |
To perform a reboot:
- Start at the Messaging Administration main
menu and select:
Utilities
Reboot System
The Reboot System page is displayed.
- Click Reboot to reboot the system.
The system displays a reboot warning.
- Read the warning and click OK if you want to
continue with the reboot, or click Cancel if
you want to cancel the reboot.
If you clicked OK, the server reboots.
- Do one of the following:
- If you are performing the reboot from
a remote location using your LAN or a dial-up connection, you
are then automatically disconnected from the server and need
to reconnect to the server after the reboot is complete. A reboot
takes approximately 15 minutes to complete.
- If you are performing the reboot from
the console, you see many LINUX messages while the system reboots.
The server displays the following message when the reboot is
complete:
Press Enter to return to prompt ...
After the above message is displayed,
do the following:
- Press Enter.
- Verify that
a final console login prompt is displayed. When it is displayed,
the reboot is complete.
| Note: If FAIL appears in the status column
for any component, do the following:
- Record the name of the
component.
- Access the alarm log.
|
- Log back in to the system to verify that the reboot was successful.

Server (MSS) for more information.
