reboot 2 reboot Reboots the control processor (CP) in a switch or a director. Synopsis reboot -f Description Use this command to reboot a CP in a director or a switch. When this command is issued on a switch, if the switch is part of a fabric, all traffic to and from that switch stops. All Fibre Channel ports on that switch including E_Ports become inactive until the switch comes online. After performing a reboot, the following can occur: • If rebooting the Standby CP, that CP goes down and there is no failover because there is no traffic on that switch. The Standby CP will no longer be in sync with the Active CP. • If rebooting the Active CP, it failsover to the Standby CP and the Standby CP becomes the new Active CP. There will be traffic disruption. • When HA is in sync, and reboot -f is issued on the Active CP of a director , the Standby CP takes over as the active CP without traffic disruption. • You are warned to commit to the roboot or not with the following: Are you sure you want to reboot the active CP [y/n]? The execution of this command is subject to Admin Domain restrictions that may be in place. Operands -f Specifiy this operand when you want to failover to the Standby CP and not affect any of the Fibre Channel Ports. Note that the recommended way to force a failover without affecting any Fibre Channel ports is to issue the hafailover command. Examples To reboot a Control Processor: switch:admin> reboot Rebooting... To reboot the CP to failover to the Standby CP: switch:admin> reboot -f Warning: This command is being run on a control processor (CP) based system and will cause the active CP to reboot.
