Restarting, rebooting and shutting down

Restarting
Do not restart the VCS while the red ALM LED on the
!
front of the box is on. This indicates a hardware fault.
Contact your Cisco representative.
The restart function shuts down and restarts the VCS
application software, but not the operating system or hardware.
Some configuration changes require a restart of the VCS before
they take effect. A Restart button is at the bottom of any web
page that includes such settings, and clicking it takes you to the
Restart page. A system warning will remain in place until the
system is restarted.
Restarting causes any active calls and registrations to be
terminated. For this reason, the Restart page displays the
number of current calls and registrations, so you can check
these before you restart.
If you do not restart the system immediately, you should
refresh this page before restarting to check the current
status of calls and registrations.
Restarting using the web interface
To restart the VCS using the web interface:
1. Go to Maintenance > Restart, or from a relevant
configuration page, click the Restart button.
You are taken to the Restart page.
2. Check the number of calls and registrations currently in place.
3. Click Restart system.
The Restarting page appears, with an orange bar indicating
progress.
After the system has successfully restarted, you are
automatically taken to the Login page.
Restarting using the CLI

Do not reboot the VCS while the red ALM LED on the
!
front of the box is on. This indicates a hardware fault.
Contact your Cisco representative.
The reboot function shuts down and restarts the VCS application
software, operating system and hardware.
Reboots are normally only required after software upgrades and
are performed as part of the upgrade process.
Rebooting causes any active calls and registrations to be
terminated. For this reason, the Reboot page displays the
number of current calls and registrations, so you can check
these before you reboot.
If you do not reboot the system immediately, you should
refresh this page before rebooting to check the current
status of calls and registrations.
Rebooting using the web interface
To reboot the VCS using the web interface:
1. Go to Maintenance > Reboot.
You are taken to the Reboot page.
2. Check the number of calls and registrations currently in place.
3. Click Reboot system.
The Rebooting page appears, with an orange bar indicating
progress.
After the system has successfully rebooted, you are
automatically taken to the Login page.

Shutting down
Do not shut down the system while the red ALM LED on
!
the front of the box is on. This indicates a hardware fault.
Contact your Cisco representative.
The system must be shut down before it is unplugged.
!
After the system has been shut down, the only way it can
!
be restarted is by pressing the soft power button on the
unit itself. You must therefore have physical access to
the unit if you want to restart it after it has been shut down.
Shutting down causes any active calls and registrations to be
terminated. For this reason, the Shutdown page displays the
number of current calls and registrations, so you can check
these before you shut down.
If you do not shut down the system immediately, you
should refresh this page before shutting down to check
the current status of calls and registrations.
Shutting down using the web interface
To shut down the VCS:
1. Go to Maintenance > Shutdown.
You are taken to the Shutdown page.
2. Check the number of calls and registrations currently in place.
3. Click Shutdown System.
The Shutting down page appears. This page remains in place
after the system has successfully shut down but any attempts to
refresh the page or access the VCS will be unsuccessful.
Shutting down using the CLI
The VCS cannot be shut down using the CLI.
