normalBoot
Certain commands and tests are only available in diagnostic mode. Switching
to diagnostic mode saves all configuration parameters so that they are restored
before returning to normal operation. Use the normalBoot command to restore
the ADIC Gateway to normal operating conditions.
This command is used only to transition an ADIC Gateway from the special
diagnostic mode to normal operations. It restores the bootline that was copied by
diagBoot. The new persistent device map is erased, and the original map file is
renamed config/device.map restoring it for use when the ADIC Gateway
reboots. The normalBoot command will then reboot the unit.
reboot
The reboot command requests that the ADIC Gateway shut down existing
operations and then restart. This is the preferred method of restarting the ADIC
Gateway. There are processes running within the ADIC Gateway that may have
writes pending to files within the flash file system. Following a reboot command,
these processes flush their data to the flash file system, and the flash file system
writes all pending data out to the flash memory. Only after all pending data has
successfully been written to flash, will the ADIC Gateway start a reset cycle.
Gateway > reboot
reset
The reset command immediately initiates a reset cycle. Any pending data writes
to the flash file system will be lost. This operation is not typically used. The
reboot command should be used to gracefully shutdown and restart the ADIC
Gateway.
Gateway > reset
ridtag [ value ]
" "
The ridtag command is used to change the replacement identifier (RID) tag for
the ADIC Gateway after it has been replaced by the service representative. This
should be the final step after replacing and verifying that the replacement unit is
performing satisfactorily.
The sysVpdShow command will display the RID tag. Before replacing the ADIC
Gateway, the customer engineer must determine the existing RID tag, if there is
one, or the original serial number if no replacement has been made.
