Chapter 5    Booting and Resetting RACs

Managing Remote Access Concentrators Using Annex Manager

•

Abort

 cancels all delayed boot requests.

•

Quiet

 boots the RACs you selected without sending a warning

message to users.

•

Save In Flash

 loads the boot image and saves it in flash memory.

When you reboot, you can use the image in the flash memory
rather than an image from a server on the network.

For

Boot Options

 other than

Quiet

, Annex Manager sends a status

message to all terminals connected to the RACs you are booting. Each
message contains RAC names and an indication of shutdown. For

Delayed

, the message includes the boot time. For

Abort

, the message

indicates cancellation.

The

Boot

 window text fields control the

boot

 command addresses, source,

time, image, and message to users:

•

Pref Load Addr

 stores the address from which the

boot

 command

loads the image.

•

Pref Dump Addr

 accepts the address to which

boot

 dumps the

current image. You can use this field only when you select the

Dump

 option.

•

Load Dump Gateway

 accepts the address of a gateway that a RAC

uses when it loads or dumps an image to a host located on a
different network or subnetwork.

•

Boot Time

 lets you enter the time at which the boot operation

occurs. You can use this field only when you select the

Delayed

option. You can enter a time in HH:MM format, or you can
enter a plus sign (+) followed by a time in HH:MM format to
indicate an amount of time in the future.

•

Boot Image

accepts the path and file name for the operational

code that is loaded. If you change the

Boot Image

, make sure the

new image is appropriate for the RAC types you select. If you
do not specify an image name each RAC you selected boots
using the current default image for that RAC.
