reboot 2 reboot Reboots the control processor (CP) in a switch or a director. Synopsis reboot -f Description 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. You are warned to commit to the reboot: Are you sure you want to reboot the active CP [y/n]? 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 fails over to the Standby CP and the Standby CP becomes the new Active CP and traffic is disrupted. • 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. If HA is not in sync, and reboot -f is issued on the Active CP, the Standby CP takes over as the Active CP with traffic disruption. Note The execution of this command is subject to Admin Domain restrictions that may be in place. Refer to chapter 1, "Understanding Admin Domain Restrictions" and Appendix A, "Command Availability" for details. Operands -f Specify this operand when you want to fail over 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.
