Rebooting the IRIS Host

The host server usually runs 24 hours a day. If it is turned off, or if there is a power failure, the system manger or an operator designed by the system manager must boot the system.

Most systems, and unattended systems, are configured to reboot automatically when the power is turned on. This can take several minutes to complete. If you expect your system to reboot automatically, but it does not, check the BIOS configuration.

  1. To reboot the local machine, login as radarop or observer.
    To reboot a remote machine, you must be logged in as root.
  2. To reboot the server safely, type: 
    reboot
  3. Press ENTER.
