Resetting the Server
Resetting the Server
It is unnecessary to power the server off and on to reset the server because a reset maintains
host power but causes the processors to reinitialize. During the reset process, the server retains
some register information. This is important in case of a system host panic, as error information
might be available upon system recovery.
Caution -
Possible Data Loss. Resetting the server causes any unsaved data on the server to be
lost.
