Shut down/Restart. Novell Security Manager Powered by Astaro

Using Novell Security Manager

When the system reaches the Hot Standby mode, the system will beep twice and the LED will stop blinking. System 2 recognizes system 1 through the data transfer connection, and remains in Hot-Standby

Mode.

Das High Availability system is now active.

The Novell Security Manager in the Hot-Standby mode will be updated at regular intervals over the data transfer connection. Should the active system encounter an error, the second system will immediately and automatically change to normal mode and take over the system’s functions.

4.1.11. Shut down/Restart

Restart will shut the system down completely and reboot. Depending on your hardware and configuration, a complete Restart can take up to 5 minutes.

Restart:

1. Under the System tab, open the Shut down/Restart menu.

2. In the action drop-down menu, choose Restart.

3. Begin the reboot by clicking Start.

4. When asked Do you really want to restart?, click OK.

The action Shut down allows you to shut the system down, and allows you to cleanly stop all running services.

For systems without a monitor or LCD display, the end of the shut down process is signaled by an unending series of beeps at one-second intervals.

Depending on your hardware and configuration, this process can take up to

5 minutes. Only after the system has completely shut down, signaled by the Power down message, should you turn off the power. If the system is turned off without being shut down properly, the system must check the consistency of the file system: this means that the next boot will take longer. In the worst case, data may be lost.

The system will beep five times in a row to signal a successful startup.

Shut down:

1. Under the System tab, open the Shut down/Restart menu.

2. In the Action drop-down menu, choose the Shut down action.

3. Begin the shutdown by clicking Start.

4. When asked Do you really want to shut down?, click OK.
