Save and Resume
Powering Off Using Save
Powering Off Using Save
You can initiate a Save in several ways:
•
By pressing
Pause-O
on the keyboard.
•
By selecting
Save Now
in the NCE Save panel.
•
By selecting
Save
at the top of the main NCE window.
•
By selecting
Save
from the OpenWindows desktop Utilities
menu.
•
By typing
save
at the Solaris root prompt.
•
By closing the lid ( SPARCbook 3 models only).
The lid closed function can be enabled or disabled via the Save and
Resume panel of the Notebook Computing Environment. See “Save and
Resume Panel” in your NCE User Guide.
You do not have to close applications because they remain completely
unaffected by Save and Resume, allowing you to take up work exactly
where you left off.
How to ensure Save and Resume operates successfully
Your SPARCbook Resumes most reliably if the hardware facilities are
the same before and after the Save is performed.
To ensure the Save and Resume facility operates correctly, it is
important that you avoid making hardware configuration changes while
your system is powered off. This applies particularly to hard disks, tape
drives, CD-ROMs and PCMCIA memory cards that are mounted as part
of your file system, and to network connections that may change.
Your SPARCbook cannot Resume successfully to a file tree that is no
longer there. To prevent problems, observe the following precautions:
•
Always unmount file systems on external drives that are likely
to be disconnected before you power on again.
