27.2.6 How the appliance handles an unexpected shutdown
The appliance has features to enable it to automatically recover from an unexpected shutdown,
and managed resources continue to operate while the appliance is offline. However, HP recommends
that you use the appliance backup features to ensure that the appliance is backed up daily, and
when you make significant configuration changes, such as adding or deleting a network.
Appliance recovery operations
When the appliance restarts, it performs the following operations:
•
Detects tasks that were in progress and resumes those tasks, if it is safe to do so. If the appliance
cannot complete a task, it notifies you that the task has been interrupted or is in some other
error state.
•
Attempts to detect differences between the current environment and the environment at the
time the appliance shut down, and then refreshes its database with the detected changes.
If you determine that the appliance data does not match the current environment, you can
request that the appliance refresh the data for certain resources, such as enclosures.
Appliance recovery during a firmware update of a managed resource
If the appliance shuts down during a firmware update of a managed resource, when the appliance
restarts, it detects the failed update and marks the firmware update tasks as being in an error state.
To update the firmware for this resource, you must re-initiate the firmware update task.
What to do when an appliance restarts
The online help provides information about using the user interface or the REST APIs to:
•
Check for critical alerts or failed tasks and follow the provided resolution instructions
•
Manually refresh a resource if the resource information displayed appears to be incorrect or
inconsistent
•
Create a support dump (recommended for unexpected crashes to help support personnel to
troubleshoot a problem)
•
Update firmware for a resource, if a firmware update task was in progress when the appliance
shut down.
27.3 Managing the appliance settings
Appliance settings include the network settings, the clock settings, and the SNMP settings for your
appliance in the data center.
If the appliance has not yet been configured when you log in, you are instructed to configure the
appliance network. You can change appliance network settings at any time after they are
configured.
You manage the appliance network configuration from the Settings screen or by using the REST
APIs. The Settings screen enables you to manage various system-wide settings and tasks. Use the
Settings
→Actions menu to access various appliance and security tasks, including downloading
audit logs.
