Restarting Modules
Restarting Modules
This section describes how to restart or re-initialize a module. A module may be cold-
restarted or warm-restarted.
Cold Restart
A cold restart initializes the hardware and any configured service of the corresponding
cold-started module.
A cold restart may be applied after an upgrade of the module’s firmware (including a new
FPGA release).
The initiation of a cold restart can result in the following:
• reloading and reprovisioning of the corresponding cold-restarted module
• clearing of alarms for which the condition to raise that alarm is no longer present
• traffic interruption
Note
It is not possible to cold-restart legacy modules via management
software.
Warm Restart
A warm restart initializes the firmware of a module without interrupting traffic (non-service
affecting). It may be applied after an upgrade of the module software (without a new
FPGA release).
A warm restart clears alarms for which the condition to raise that alarm is no longer
present.
Follow these steps to manually restart a module:
Step 1 Select .
Step 2 In the Navigation Tree, select
Shelf
>
Module slot.
Step 3 In the Main Pane, select .
The Restart window opens, displaying the restart options and details
associated with the selected restart option.
