Update warning

This is the final step in configuring the system. When you click Continue, all the configuration information will be written to disk and implemented. This step normally completes in about 5 minutes.

This topic covers:

• Making a final configuration check

• Accessing a reconfigured interface

Final configuration check

This is your final opportunity to cancel or to correct the configuration. Before you continue:

1. If you are unsure about some of the information that you entered:

• For a first-time configuration: The first time that you run the Configure Server wizard, you enter a lot of data manually. If you want to verify or change, the data you entered on a previous screen use your browser's Back button to navigate back through the Configure Server screens.
• Check or change the data you want.

2. Always click Continue to move forward again, whether you change anything or not. If you don't do this, information in the wizard may not be processed correctly.

• For any configuration. It is always safe to Cancel the configuration, and run the Configure Server wizard again later from the beginning. You might use this option if you are checking or modifying settings on a server that has already been configured, and there is not a huge amount of new information to enter.

4. When all settings are correct, click Continue.

Caution:
If the configuration status stops and the screen appears to freeze, you might have lost contact with the server.  See Loss of server connection for details.

Accessing a reconfigured interface

If you reassigned the Ethernet interface that you are currently logged in to (either the services or the administrative interface) on the Set Server Identities screen, you will lose contact with the server when the server reconfigures that interface. The configuration process continues, but you do not see the final messages.

If you reconfigure your active interface:

1. When the interface you are using is reconfigured, the status display stops after you see the following the message "Restarting Ethernet interfaces".
2. Unplug the appropriate Ethernet cable on the server and move the cable to the interface that you just configured.
3. You can log in again, but you cannot see the end of the configuration notices.
