Chapter 16: Maintenance
Restarting, Rebooting, and Shutting Down the BSC
Many configuration settings in the BSC do not take effect until you restart certain BSC
services or reboot the BSC. Where a restart of service(s) or a reboot is needed to effect
configuration changes, a message is displayed in the administrator console that includes
a click here link. Click the link, and the BSC will perform whatever action is required.
Additionally, you may need to restart BSC services, reboot the BSC, or shut down the
BSC manually for other system maintenance reasons.
As a matter of definition, restarting the BSC means that services running on the BSC are
stopped and then restarted without interrupting power, dropping user connections or
restarting the OS. Rebooting the BSC means that the BSC is powered off and all user
connections are dropped, and then the BSC is powered back on and its OS is restarted.
To restart BSC services, reboot the BSC, or shut down the BSC manually:
1.
Click the Maintenance tab, and then click Restart Services.
The BSC restart page appears as shown in Figure 16-1.
Select the appropriate BSC action by marking one of the following radio buttons:
