EMC DS-32B2, ED-12000B fastboot

1-150 EMC Connectrix DS-32B2 and ED-12000B Fabric OS Reference Manual

Telnet Commands

fastboot

Reboot the switch, bypassing POST.

Syntax fastboot

Availability Admin

Description Use this command to reboot the switch, bypassing POST. The reboot

takes effect immediately as the switch resets and executes normal

power-up booting sequence. However, power on self test (POST) is

skipped. This reduces boot time significantly.

If POST has been disabled using the diagDisablePost command,

then fastboot is the same as reboot. However, fastboot skips

POST on the current reboot, while diagDisablePost skips POST on

all future reboots until cancelled by diagEnablePost.

Because fastboot reboots the CP a WARNING message and a

confirmation is displayed. The command only takes place if the user

responds positively.

For the ED-12000B, the fastboot command will reboot both logical

switches and both CPs.

Operands None

Example To reboot the switch, bypassing POST:

switch:admin>fastboot

Warning: This command is being run on a control processor (CP)

based system and will cause the active CP to reboot. This will

cause disruption to devices attached to both switch 0 and switch 1.

To just reboot a logical switch on this system, use command

switchreboot(1M) on the logical switch you intend to reboot.

Are you sure you want to reboot the active CP [y/n]?y
