Restarting The Upgrade Side - NEC Express5800/320Fd-MR N8800-123F, EXP320K User Manual

Restarting the Upgrade Side

When the system is running in split mode, if necessary, you can restart the operating system on the
Upgrade Side at any time. You can either allow a software installer to restart the system
automatically or you can perform the following procedure to restart the system manually.
IMPORTANT:
Before you restart the system, ensure that you are working on the Upgrade Side desktop (through a
remote connection). Do not restart the Production Side.
To manually restart the Upgrade Side
1. On the Upgrade Side, click Shut Down in the Start menu.
2. In the Shut Down Windows dialog box, select Restart from the drop-down menu and click
OK.
If you are using Remote KVM, the AVR session will remain connected while the Upgrade Side is
restarting; however, you must log on again when the Upgrade Side is finished restarting. (To send
the Ctrl-Alt-Del key sequence necessary for login, use a virtual keyboard.)
If you are using Remote Desktop Connection, the connection to the Upgrade Side is terminated,
and the Production Side desktop is displayed. While the Upgrade Side is restarting, you can view its
status in the activity log and the status bar of the Active Upgrade Console. When the console
displays the message Partner: OS Up, you can click Remote Desktop to log on to the Upgrade
Side again.
IMPORTANT:
When you restart the Upgrade Side, the following activity log may be displayed on the Active
Upgrade Console:
Partner (Upgrade) state is now Hung:
Unexpected state transition in Split state.
There may be an output of these activity logs even when the Upgrade Side's restart completed
normally. If the following activity logs are displayed after about five minutes, select [Retry] to
retry the split process so that you can continue the Active Upgrade.
Partner (Upgrade) state is now Running OS.
Reestablished network connection with Upgrade side.
If there is no output of those acvtivity logs, select [Abort] to interrupt the Active Upgrade.
