reset command

This command resets compute nodes, compute node system-management processors, I/O modules, or the primary CMM. It also resets the multiplexer expansion module.

If command syntax is not correctly entered, or if a command fails to run, an error message is returned. See Common errors for a list of error messages that apply to all commands or reset command errors for a list of error messages that are specific to the reset command.

Table 1. reset command.

The command table is a multi-row, four-column table where each row describes a CMM CLI command option: column one lists command function, column two provides a detailed command description, column three shows command-option syntax, and column four lists valid command targets.

Function What it does Command Target (see paths in Command targets)
Reset Performs an immediate reset and restart of the specified device. reset
This command can only be run by users who have one or more of the following command authorities:
  • Supervisor
  • Blade administration (for compute node or compute node ISMP)
  • I/O module administration (for I/O module)
See Commands and user authority for additional information.
Compute node:
  • blade[x]
  • where x is the node bay number.
Compute node system-management processor:
  • sp
I/O module:
  • switch[x]
  • where x is the I/O-bay number.
Reset primary CMM Performs an immediate reset and restart of the primary CMM. If the current operating state of the Flex System Enterprise Chassis indicates potential problems with performing the reset, an error message is returned and the reset is cancelled. reset
This command can only be run by users who have one or more of the following command authorities:
  • Supervisor
  • Chassis administration
See Commands and user authority for additional information.
Primary CMM:
  • mm[p]
  • mm[P]
  • mm[x]
  • where x is the primary CMM bay number.
Reset primary CMM (with override) Performs an immediate reset and restart of the primary CMM, overriding error messages and reset cancellation due to the current Flex System Enterprise Chassis operating state. reset -o
This command can only be run by users who have one or more of the following command authorities:
  • Supervisor
  • Chassis administration
See Commands and user authority for additional information.
Primary CMM:
  • mm[p]
  • mm[P]
  • mm[x]
  • where x is the primary CMM bay number.
Reset standby CMM Performs an immediate reset of the standby CMM. reset -standby
This command can only be run by users who have one or more of the following command authorities:
  • Supervisor
  • Chassis administration
See Commands and user authority for additional information.
Primary CMM:
  • mm[p]
  • mm[P]
  • mm[x]
  • where x is the primary CMM bay number.
Note: Even though this command resets the standby CMM, it still must specify the primary CMM as the command target.
Reset compute node to command console Opens a command console with an SOL session when the specified compute node is reset. reset -c
This command can only be run by users who have one or more of the following command authorities:
  • Supervisor
  • Blade administration and blade remote presence
See Commands and user authority for additional information.
Compute node:
  • blade[x]
  • where x is the node bay number.
Reset with failover Resets the specified command target, enabling failover if a redundant (standby) component for the command target is present.

An error message is displayed if you try to failover from the primary CMM when a standby CMM is not installed or if the firmware in the one of the CMMs is updating.

reset -f
This command can only be run by users who have one or more of the following command authorities:
  • Supervisor
  • Chassis administration
See Commands and user authority for additional information.
Primary CMM:
  • mm[p]
  • mm[P]
  • mm[x]
  • where x is the primary CMM bay number.
Reset I/O module with standard diagnostics Performs an immediate reset and restart of the specified device, running standard diagnostics on the I/O module after it restarts.

Running the reset -std command gives the same result as running the reset command on a I/O module.

reset -std
This command can only be run by users who have one or more of the following command authorities:
  • Supervisor
  • I/O module administration
See Commands and user authority for additional information.
I/O module:
  • switch[x]
  • where x is the I/O-bay number.
Reset I/O module with extended diagnostics Performs an immediate reset and restart of the specified device, running extended diagnostics on the I/O module after it restarts. reset -exd
This command can only be run by users who have one or more of the following command authorities:
  • Supervisor
  • I/O module administration
See Commands and user authority for additional information.
I/O module:
  • switch[x]
  • where x is the I/O-bay number.
Reset I/O module with full diagnostics Performs an immediate reset and restart of the specified device, running full diagnostics on the I/O module after it restarts. reset -full
This command can only be run by users who have one or more of the following command authorities:
  • Supervisor
  • I/O module administration
See Commands and user authority for additional information.
I/O module:
  • switch[x]
  • where x is the I/O-bay number.
Restart compute node with NMI Performs an immediate reset and restart of the specified compute node, for compute nodes that support the non-maskable interrupt (NMI).
Note: A compute node must be powered on to run the reset -sft command.
reset -sft
This command can only be run by users who have one or more of the following command authorities:
  • Supervisor
  • Blade administration and blade remote presence
See Commands and user authority for additional information.
Compute node:
  • blade[x]
  • where x is the node bay number.
Example: To reset the system-management processor on the compute node in node bay 5, while the Flex System Enterprise Chassis is set as the persistent command environment, at the system> prompt, type
reset -T blade[5]:sp

The following example shows the information that is returned:

system> reset -T blade[5]:sp
OK
system>
