Rebooting The Device; Rebooting Devices Immediately At The Cli; Scheduling A Device Reboot - HP 830 Series Configuration Manual

Rebooting the device

CAUTION:
Device reboot can interrupt network services.
•
To avoid data loss, use the save command to save the current configuration before a reboot.
•
Use the display startup and display boot-loader commands to verify that you have correctly set the
•
startup configuration file and the main system software image file. If the main system software image file
has been corrupted or does not exist, the device cannot reboot. You must re-specify a main system
software image file, or power off the device and then power it on so the system can reboot with the
backup system software image file.
You can reboot the device in one of the following ways to recover from an error condition:
Reboot the device immediately at the CLI.
•
• At the CLI, schedule a reboot to occur at a specific time and date or after a delay.
Power off and then power on the device. This method might cause data loss, and is the
•
least-preferred method.
Reboot at the CLI enables easy remote device maintenance.

Rebooting devices immediately at the CLI

To reboot a device, execute the following command in user view:
Task
Reboot the device immediately.

Scheduling a device reboot

The switch supports only one device reboot schedule. If you configure the schedule reboot delay
command multiple times, the most recent configuration takes effect. The schedule reboot at command
and the schedule reboot delay command overwrite each other. The most recently configured command
takes effect.
For data security, if you are performing file operations at the reboot time, the system does not reboot.
To schedule a device reboot, execute one of the following commands in user view:
Task
Schedule a reboot.
Command

Command
•
Schedule a reboot to occur at a specific
time and date:
