Re-Registering a Proxy Server

SSH into the proxy server and run "/etc/init.d/initproxyappliance register"

It's faster than rebooting it and pressing a key when prompted from teh console.

Proxy Server Failing to Boot - fsck Failed

If you restart a proxy and it halts boot because "fsck failed for at least one filesystems" it's likely that there was a snapshot mounted when it rebooted and it's trying to mount that. Edit the proxy's settings in VMware and remove the snapshot (whatever disk is named differently than the proxy server). Once that's done you can can reboot the proxy and it should come up normally.


Make sure to delete the snapshot of the server that you removed from the proxy
