Platforms
Supported on all 7210 SAS platforms as described in this document, including platforms
configured in the access-uplink operating mode; not supported on 7210 SAS platforms
configured in the standalone-VC operating mode
Description This command is used only to reboot the system, initiate an upgrade of the firmware along
with a reboot of the node, or initiate an auto-init boot procedure along with a reboot of the
node.
If no options are specified, the user is prompted to confirm the reboot operation. For example:
ALA-1>admin# reboot
Are you sure you want to reboot (y/n)?
If the now option is specified, no boot confirmation messages appear.
Parameters active — Keyword to reboot the active CPM. This keyword is only supported on
7210 SAS-R6 and 7210 SAS-R12 platforms.
standby — Keyword to reboot the standby CPM. This keyword is only supported on
7210 SAS-R6 and 7210 SAS-R12 platforms.
upgrade — Keyword to upgrade card firmware (CPLD and ROM) during chassis reboot.
The 7210 SAS OS and the boot.tim support functionality to perform automatic
firmware upgrades. The automatic upgrade must be enabled in the 7210 SAS OS
Command Line Interface (CLI) when rebooting the system.
When the upgrade keyword is specified, a chassis flag is set for the boot loader
(boot.tim) and on the subsequent boot of the 7210 SAS OS on the chassis, any
firmware images requiring upgrading will be upgraded automatically.
If an 7210 SAS is rebooted with the admin reboot command (without the upgrade
keyword), the firmware images are left intact.
During any firmware upgrade, automatic or manual, it is imperative that during the
upgrade procedure:
• Power must NOT be switched off or interrupted.
• The system must NOT be reset.
• No cards are inserted or removed.
Any of the above conditions may render cards inoperable requiring a return of the
card for resolution.
now — Keyword to force a reboot of the router immediately without an interactive
confirmation.
auto-init — Keyword to reset the BOF and initiates a reboot. This keyword is not
supported on 7210 SAS-R6 and 7210 SAS-R12 platforms.
