Fabric OS Command Reference 225

53-1001337-01

fastboot

Reboots the Control Processor (CP), bypassing Power-On Self-Tests (POST).

Synopsis fastboot

Description Use this command to immediately reboot the CP. This command is similar to reboot, but skips POST

when the system comes back up, reducing boot time significantly.

If POST was previously disabled using the diagDisablePost command, then fastboot is the same as

reboot.

Notes This command is not available on non-bladed systems except for the Brocade 4100 and 4900.

The execution of this command is subject to Virtual Fabric or Admin Domain restrictions that may

be in place. Refer to chapter 1, "Using Fabric OS commands" and Appendix A, "Command

Availability" for details.

Operands none

Examples To reboot the Control Processor without executing power-on self test (POST) on startup:

switch:admin> fastboot
