SP2: Estart

Desc:  Customer question:
When a node is rebooted using "shutdown -Fr" should the switch 
start automatically or is it normal that an Estart is required?  

Answer:
Yes, you do have to manually run Estart in order to bring that node
back onto the switch.  The reason for this is that running Estart
causes a switch fault to happen.  If you are running IP on the switch,
this is no problem since IP will resend packets.  Other communications
might not.  Estart then, needs to be run by the system administrator
who can decide on the best time to run Estart.
