| - | ===== Recovery ===== | ||
| - | ==== Instability detection ==== | ||
| - | |||
| - | An instability counter is used to detect system instability. | ||
| - | * If 16 consecutive reboots are detected due to a watchdog, a “backup restore” operation is triggered. | ||
| - | * If 32 consecutive reboots are detected due to a watchdog, a “stock restore” operation is triggered. | ||
| - | |||
| - | The counter is reset if the system is up during at least 10 minutes. | ||
| - | This feature cannot be disabled as it avoids bricking the gateway in case of software failure. | ||
| - | |||
| - | The counter ''bootfail'' is displayed at boot time only if the reboot is due to a watchdog. Bootcause information are available [[wiki:troubleshoot#bootcause|here]]. | ||

| - | ===== Backup ===== | ||
| - | ==== Backup restore ==== | ||
| - | The updates that are being installed during an update request can make the system unstable so by default they are not included immediately in the backup.\\ | ||
| - | Before each update, a “snapshot” of the firmware is done. It contains all the previously applied updates that are considered as "stable". | ||
| - | This “snapshot” will be used if a “backup restore” is triggered. \\ | ||
| - | If a “backup recovery” is triggered, only the stable updates are restored. Other updates are destroyed. Modifications in rootfs will be lost except [[wiki:upgrade#configuration_management_sysupgrade|system upgrade]] files. By default, some system configuration files like the network configuration. | ||
| - | |||
| - | To trigger a backup restore execute the following commands: | ||
| - | <code bash> | ||
| - | kerosd -b | ||
| - | reboot | ||
| - | </code> | ||
| - | |||
| - | \\ | ||
| - | ==== Stock restore ==== | ||
| - | The stock firmware is backuped at production time (or when updated with a KerOS liveburner.ipk file). \\ | ||
| - | A “stock restore” will factory reset the station. All data will be lost. | ||
| - | To trigger a stock restore execute the following commands: | ||
| - | <code bash> | ||
| - | kerosd -s | ||
| - | reboot | ||
| - | </code> | ||
| - | |||
| - | |||
| - | ===== Store & Restore configuration ===== | ||
| - | |||
| - | This functionality from firmware < 4.0 must not be used to store configuration files. In order to save configuration use the [[wiki:upgrade#configuration_management_sysupgrade|sysupgrade]] management. | ||
