HPE FlexFabric 5940 SERIES Fundamentals Command Reference

Usage guidelines
Password recovery capability controls console user access to the device configuration and SDRAM
from BootWare menus.
If password recovery capability is enabled, a console user can access the device configuration
without authentication to configure new passwords.
If password recovery capability is disabled, console users must restore the factory-default
configuration before they can configure new passwords. Restoring the factory-default configuration
deletes the next-startup configuration files.
To enhance system security, disable password recovery capability.
Availability of BootWare menu options depends on the password recovery capability setting. For
more information, see the release notes.
Examples

Parameters
slot slot-number: Specifies an IRF member device by its member ID.
subslot subslot-number: Specifies a subcard by its subslot number. This option is available only on
the HPE FlexFabric 5940 2-slot Switch (JH397A) and HPE FlexFabric 5940 4-slot Switch (JH398A).
force: Reboots the device immediately without performing software or hard disk check. If this
keyword is not specified, the system first identifies whether the reboot might result in data loss or a
system failure. For example, the system identifies whether the main system software image file
exists and whether a write operation is in progress on a storage medium. If the reboot might cause
problems, the system does not reboot the device.
Usage guidelines
CAUTION:
• A reboot might interrupt network services.
• Use the force keyword only when the device fails or a reboot command without the force
keyword cannot perform a reboot correctly. A reboot command with the force keyword might
result in file system corruption because it does not perform data protection.
If the main startup software images are corrupt or missing, you must re-specify a set of main startup
software images before executing the reboot command.
For data security, the device does not reboot if you reboot the device while the device is performing
file operations.
