Default Re: Snap server 14000 OS

If you are able to get to the admin gui. You need to terminate all scheduled Snapshots, and disable the AV (snap extensions). Then do a reset to factory settings. Then reboot and see it if comes up clean. Once this has been cleared it should boot up cleanly.

On Guardian OS Units, If working properly corectly, will transfer the OS to clean HD's if cold booted or hotswap. The difference if hotswaped it will automaticaly start the repair (resysn) process. So if you want ot transfer the OS and have AV and SnapShots off it allways best to do a cold boot. The power down and do the drive swap. If going to a new unit you only want the boot drive in slot 1, NO other drives installed. Once the unit is up, you can then hotswat the rest of the drives.

If you have the GSU's you can always use the recovery page and use the clean install option. Or proceded with diaster recover using DRI and SnapShots to restore the unit.

This is where the SnapOS and Guardian OS differ. You can not hotswap a SnapOS unit. And GuardianOS prefer HOT Swapping.
