6.5 Restarting Novell Remote Manager or the HTTP Interface

After you have made changes to the server that require portal.nlm or httpstk.nlm to be restarted, or after you have loaded a newer version of these NLM programs on the server, click the applicable Restart button to unload and reload the module.

A message appears asking if you are sure you want to restart the module, which temporarily disables this utility. While the reset is taking place, a page appears stating that the reset is taking place. When the reset is complete, the page refreshes to the Configuration page with the changed settings if you haven't changed the port settings.

If you have changed the port settings, remember to use the new numbers when accessing Novell Remote Manager.

IMPORTANT:Unloading portal.nlm or httpstk.nlm using the options on the Configuration Options page is the preferred method for unloading and reloading these NLM programs rather than unloading and reloading from the System Console screen. The functionality provided with this feature keeps track of the plug-in modules that have dependencies with these NLM programs and unloads and reloads all the required modules.

If you just unload portal.nlm or httpstk.nlm using commands at the System Console prompt, you might run into issues with module dependencies (such as timesync, libc, tcpstats, and nwusage) that have been established, and the NLM might not unload. If you successfully unload the modules, the dependent plug-in modules must be loaded manually after portal.nlm.
