HP UX 11i v2 Networking Software manual Reload, Synopsis The reload command reboots the chassis

reload

Synopsis: The reload command reboots the chassis.

Syntax: reload

Command Modes: Privileged-execute mode.

Privilege Level: General read-write user.

Usage Guidelines: At stages of chassis and interface setup you need to reinitialize chassis firmware or restore interface card configurations. You may power-cycle by unplugging and replugging the electrical cord to the system chassis but this approach is not recommended. The reload command is recommended because it allows the chassis to close files and prepare for shutdown. reload brings down the entire system chassis and restarts all the cards in the chassis.

The system prompts for you to verify the reload. If you had not already saved configuration changes, and the system detects the changes, it prompts you to save. If you enter yes, the new configuration is stored in startup-config. You may optionally save the configuration to an alternate file by entering the file name, followed by a carriage-return.

The system reinitializes itself and then loads the system-image and the startup-config file. Wait a few minutes and attempt to log onto the chassis.

Examples:

HP-IB# reload

System configuration has been modified. Save? [yes(default)/no/*.cfg] yes

Proceed with reload? [confirm] HP-IB#

Connection to host lost.

Defaults: This command has no defaults.

shutdown

Synopsis: The shutdown command enables or disables a specific interface card in the system chassis.

The shutdown command enables or disables the Ethernet Management port.

The shutdown command enables or disables the Management-InfiniBand port.

Syntax: shutdown

no shutdown

Command Modes: Configuration Card (config-card) mode.

Privilege Level: Unrestricted or card-specific read-write user.

Usage Guidelines: Enabling/Disabling a card:

A card must be enabled, or brought up, before it can be configured. Enter this command after the card type command to bring up each card in the chassis. You may enter this command at any time to disable a card while in the current configuration mode.

When an interface card is placed out-of-service, the power is turned off for that card and it no longer processes packets. The system-image resident on the card cannot be deleted or updated when the card is down. Unless you have cause to do otherwise, make sure all the expansion modules and switch cluster connections are up before attempting to update the system-image.
