Reset Level 4 (MultiVantage Application Reload)

Reset Level 4 (MultiVantage
Application Reload)
!
CAUTION:
Executing reset system 4 leads to an interchange of the system's servers.
[In response to a level-4 reset, maintenance software downgrades the active
server's state of health (SOH)., which causes the subsequent interchange.]
Once the interchange occurs, the system also relies on the previous
standby's version of translations, which (in this scenario) may not be current.
To avoid an unwanted interchange, be sure to busy-out the standby server
before executing reset system 4.
