Server Maintenance
The Server Maintenance pages provides the ability to offload and shutdown a server for maintenance,

Caution Restarting a Vault or Streamer server while there are still active ingests and streams causes the current

To restart a server, do the following:

Step 2 From the Server IP/Name drop-down list, choose the IP address or nickname of the server and click
Display. The server type and ID, as well as the array ID, are displayed.
Step 3 From the Restart drop-down list, choose Ye s and click Submit.
