Issuing the HALT Command Before Removing Power

Gracefully shutting down VersaSync by using the HALT command offers the following advantages over shutting the unit down by interrupting the power supply:

  • The shutdown process will be logged
  • The System Clock will update the Real Time Clock with the latest System Time.
  • VersaSync's file system will be synchronized, which under some circumstances will allow for faster startup next time the unit will be powered up.

Note: Wait 30 seconds after entering the HALT command before removing power.

  1. Navigate to TOOLS > SYSTEM: Reboot/Halt.
  1. The Reboot/Halt window will display. Select the Shutdown the Unit checkbox.

  1. Click Submit.
  2. Wait 30 seconds after entering the HALT command before disconnecting power from the unit.
SerialPort/Telnet/SSH:

With a serial connection to the USB port, telnet connection or SSH connection, type halt <Enter> to halt the unit for shutdown. For more information on VersaSync commands, see CLI Commands.

Note: After issuing the HALT command wait 30 seconds before you remove power.

Once you have halted your VersaSync, power must be removed (unplugged) and reapplied in order to restart the unit.
