[CHG] Method = Restart, Reason Warm Boot would work as Kevin mentions.

[CHG] Why do you need to do this? The MGC should have a timer of 2 hours
associated with that termination. So the MGC knows when to subtract the
termination from the context. The MGC should not use this termination for
traffic after it has subtracted it.
