Chapter 9 Maintenance Rebooting an IOP Before you reboot an IOP, consider the following points which may affect your decision to reboot the IOP at that time. • When an IOP is removed from service (powered off, disabled, faulted or booted in any mode other than Operational Endurance I/O Processor Mode): - Any non-mirrored devices that physically reside on that IOP are not available to the server. - The keyboard and mouse attached to that IOP are not available to the CE operating system. • As an alternative to removing an IOP from service, consider scheduling an appropriate maintenance time (the same day) when you can remove the server from service. Then, use the procedure Rebooting the Server to avoid remirroring all mirrored disk sets. To reboot an IOP: Step 1 2 3 Action Follow the instructions in the procedure Rebooting the Server on page 214. Use Endurance Manager to ensure the following: • That the IOP you want to reboot is not marked as the source of a mirror copy. • That the other IOP is active. • That the other IOP has public network connectivity (IOPx.Ethernet cable is online). Reboot the IOP using either of the following methods: • From Endurance Manager, issue the command IOPx Shutdown. • From the local IOP: a.Make sure that the keyboard and mouse are controlling the IOP's operating system. b.Issue a Windows NT Shutdown command. Notes Do this only if you are willing to remove the server from service. If you do not want to remove the server from service, continue with the next step. If possible, perform any necessary backups for nonmirrored devices on the IOP that you want to reboot. If necessary, enter the hotkey sequence to switch control to the IOP's operating system. 209
