Overview
Maintenance Mode is automatically launched when the software on the VBrick does not
boot. Maintenance Mode runs from a reduced functioning kernel that provides a limited CLI
and IWS interface. The Maintenance Mode interfaces are a subset of those provided for Full
Feature Mode, allowing for minimal configuration and diagnostic capabilities. Maintenance
Mode can also be used as a means of downloading new firmware. If your appliance enters
maintenance mode during or after a firmware download you can simply rerun the download and reset
the appliance to return to normal run mode.
Maintenance Mode is an operational mode that
occurs when a VBrick is running a reduced subset of code. It normally happens only when a
power failure occurs during a software download. It provides limited capacity of the IWS
interface to manage some parameters of the VBrick appliance. Security is maintained in
maintenance mode, so the user must be at administrator level to change the parameters.
