Re-install or perform a configuration restore.<br />

In the unlikely event the patch installation fails, the <strong>Sidewinder</strong> <strong>G2</strong><br />

will not be operational, and will instead boot into failure mode. A<br />

message appears when you log in to the <strong>Sidewinder</strong> <strong>G2</strong> and it is in<br />

failure mode.<br />

Failure mode enables the <strong>Sidewinder</strong> <strong>G2</strong> to boot far enough to allow<br />

an administrator to log in. The administrator can then display the log<br />

files and perform diagnostic functions in an effort to determine what<br />

went wrong.<br />

Important: Unless you are an extremely experienced <strong>Sidewinder</strong> <strong>G2</strong> administrator,<br />

please contact Secure Computing <strong>Technical</strong> Support if your <strong>Sidewinder</strong> <strong>G2</strong> boots into<br />

failure mode.<br />

After correcting the problem you should perform the following steps:<br />

1. Exit failure mode by typing the following command:<br />

cf daemond set failure_mode=<strong>of</strong>f<br />

2. Reboot the <strong>Sidewinder</strong> <strong>G2</strong>.<br />

Note: For more information on failure mode, see “daemond” on page 1-12.<br />

The following sections provide information on troubleshooting basic<br />

proxy rule problems. For additional information on troubleshooting<br />

proxy rules, refer to the cf_proxy man page.<br />
