restart Description Restarts the Storage Controller or Management Controller in a controller module. If you restart a Storage Controller, it attempts to shut down with a proper failover sequence, which includes stopping all I/O operations and flushing the write cache to disk, and then the controller restarts. The Management Controller is not restarted so it can provide status information to external interfaces. If you restart a Management Controller, communication with it is lost until it successfully restarts. If the restart fails, the partner MC remains active with full ownership of operations and configuration information. CAUTION: If you restart both controller modules, you and users lose access to the system and its data until the restart is complete. Syntax restart sc|mc a|b|both [noprompt] Parameters sc|mc The controller to restart: • sc: Storage Controller • mc: Management Controller a|b|both The controller module containing the controller to restart. noprompt Optional. Suppresses the confirmation prompt. Example Restart the Management Controller in controller A, which you are logged in to: # restart mc a During the restart process you will briefly lose communication with the specified management Controller(s). Continue? yes Info: Restarting Local MC A... From controller A, restart the Storage Controller in controller B: # restart sc b Success: SC B restarted. See also • shutdown 76

restart
Description
Restarts the Storage Controller or Management Controller in a controller module.
If you restart a Storage Controller, it attempts to shut down with a proper failover sequence, which
includes stopping all I/O operations and flushing the write cache to disk, and then the controller
restarts. The Management Controller is not restarted so it can provide status information to external
interfaces.
If you restart a Management Controller, communication with it is lost until it successfully restarts. If the
restart fails, the partner MC remains active with full ownership of operations and configuration
information.
CAUTION:
If you restart both controller modules, you and users lose access to the system and its
data until the restart is complete.

Parameters
sc|mc
The controller to restart:
sc
: Storage Controller
mc
: Management Controller
a|b|both
The controller module containing the controller to restart.
noprompt
