SCS160R / SCS320R
6.2 save Command
The SCS systems will maintain your settings in RAM memory as long as system
power is applied and the system remains in a normal operating condition. To perma-
nently store your parameters, the system has a save command. In order to prevent
the inadvertent loss of your precious data due to an inadvertent power failure, the root
user must use the
save command to write the data changes to the non-volatile Com-
pact Flash memory card. This will ensure your data is maintained as desired.
The save command does not store buffered port data, which is held in RAM.
Note
The root user should run save any time that the system configuration
has been changed. This includes user password changes and any
command-line system administration changes
The save command is automatically run when you have executed the reboot or
the poweroff commands.
6.3 reboot
During the course of administering the SCS, you may have to reboot the system to
enable certain changes. For example, certain network settings require the
service
network restart , which is accomplished during a reboot.
reboot
may be manually run at any time, if required. The
save
command is auto-
run as a part of the reboot command. Reboot occurs immediately after your data has
been saved. After the reboot has properly run the underlying commands, the system
will ‘reset’ and then begin the start up process, as if you had just turned the power on.
Note
No ‘break’ commands will be sent on the serial Ports during a SCS
system reboot. Your servers will not be adversely affected.
The Logical Solutions SCS systems are “break-safe”, meaning that they will not
send a ‘break’ command (unless user initiated) or other data on the serial ports con-
nected to your servers. A ‘break’ might cause problems with your server.
A reboot takes a short period of time, a minute or so, to complete.
