A parallel reload involves splitingthe processors giving you the opportunity to work on the offline side of the PBX. This offline side actually SYSLOAD's when it comes online, so you can see the effect of a sysload on your problem.

While in split, the active core handles all processing, and no user outtage is experienced. You can determine if the problem you were experiencing is still there or not, and if it has cleared, you can swing this inactive side into active mode. When you switchover, you will experience a brief interuption of new calls, but existing calls will stay up for the most part.

This is the preffered method for troubleshooting, as you can back out if you don;t like what you see on the offline side.

A full system SYSLOAD distrupts the entire system all at once, and in my opinion, is not recomended for trouble isolation.
