Reinitializing/Powering Off the Unit
The MAXserver always stores permanent parameters (i.e., those parameters
that you change using the DEFINE or PURGE command) in local storage.
Some of the DEFINE SERVER Commands require that you reboot the
server for the changes to take effect. A complete listing of these server
commands are located in the Define Server section of Commands Reference
Guide. Always reboot the server using the INITIALIZE DELAY command to
prevent corruption of the parameter storage. Commands that require
reinitialization display the following message when you press the RETURN
key:
XYPLEX - 705 - CHANGE LEAVES APPROXIMATELY XXXXXXX BYTES FREE
These commands cannot be modified by a SET command, because the server
must redistribute memory resources for the feature during the boot-up
process.
Before you reinitialize, cycle power, or power off the unit, make sure that the
parameter storage process has completed or the permanent parameters may
be corrupted.
To reinitialize the unit, use the privileged command:
XYPLEX>> INITIALIZE DELAY 0
Issuing this command ensures that parameters have been stored before the
unit reinitializes.
Resetting the MAXserver
Before you power off the unit, use the following command to ensure that the
unit has completed storing parameters:
MONITOR PARAMETER SERVER
