Re-imaging your<br />

System reboot messages<br />

Re-imaging your <strong>Sidewinder</strong> <strong>G2</strong><br />

During a system reboot, certain system events will cause messages to<br />

be stored in the audit holding area prior to auditd being started.<br />

When auditd starts, one or more blue messages stating “sacopen:<br />

transferred 1 records from hold” may appear on the console’s<br />

display. This merely indicates that the messages stored in the audit<br />

holding area were transferred to the audit stream. Normally, these<br />

messages can be ignored.<br />

If you need to re-image your <strong>Sidewinder</strong> <strong>G2</strong> configuration, follow the<br />

steps below. You will need both your <strong>Sidewinder</strong> <strong>G2</strong> Installation–Disk<br />

Imaging CD-ROM and your configuration backup diskette. (You may<br />

need to use this process if your original configuration was incorrect.)<br />

Note: Any changes you made to the multi-processor configuration (mp.config) file, will<br />

be overwritten during the re-installation process.<br />

1. Attach a keyboard and monitor directly to your <strong>Sidewinder</strong> <strong>G2</strong>.<br />

Note: If your system has multiple keyboard/monitor connection ports, you must<br />

attach the keyboard and monitor into the same keyboard/monitor connection port<br />

pair (that is, attach both items either to the front connection ports or the back<br />

connection ports).<br />

2. Insert the Installation–Disk Imaging CD into the drive and reboot (or<br />

power on) the system. The system boots from the CD and displays<br />

standard boot-up information. When the system finishes booting, the<br />

<strong>Sidewinder</strong> <strong>G2</strong> s<strong>of</strong>tware Installation Wizard Welcome window appears.<br />

3. Press Enter. The Installation Type window appears.<br />

4. Press Enter to accept Install as the installation type and continue with<br />

the installation.<br />

5. Review the system information. If necessary, tab between the window<br />

information and the Continue button.<br />

6. Make sure the Continue button is highlighted and press Enter.<br />

7. Press Enter to accept the default disk partitioning.<br />

Note: In most situations, the default partitioning should be appropriate. Only<br />

experienced administrators should change the default disk partitioning.<br />

8. Tab to highlight Yes.<br />

9. Press Enter. The Installation Wizard will erase your system’s hard drive<br />

and re-install the <strong>Sidewinder</strong> <strong>G2</strong> s<strong>of</strong>tware.<br />
