Rebooting the Memory Array
When you reboot the Memory Array, you must specify which processors to
restart. The two processors are:
1.
System —Contains the software that manages the VIMM topology.
WARNING!
Restarting the system processor interrupts traffic and
causes loss of some older system logs and diagnostic data. To preserve this
diagnostic data it is recommended that the
vincident
and/or
save
log
commands be used prior to reboot.
Using a syslog server also ensures logs are stored prior to any reboot. See
Displaying and Setting System Log (Syslog) Options on page 71.
2.
OAM —Controls the administration function, such as user logins, system
administration, and the CLI software.
Rebooting the System

day.
