<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Helvetica Neue"">This is my favorite new Cisco "feature". All the 14.x platforms have this. I think they implemented in 12.5(su4 or 5), but if the system goes down dirty, the official Cisco policy
is to do a restore from backup. So far, I haven't had any actual issues after this happens, but if your system is in this state, TAC won't help you until you've rebuilt. There are a few options for graceful shutdown in VMWare, but your server needs to be
on a UPS for them to work.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
