reboot

Reboots either one control processor (CP) or the entire system.

Synopsis reboot

Description Use this command to immediately reboot a CP in a director or an entire switch. The command line

session is closed.

When this command is issued on a single-CP system, all switches in the system are entirely shut down

and all Fibre Channel ports become inactive until the system restarts. When this command is issued on

the active CP of a dual-CP system, the active CP reboots, the standby CP takes over as the active CP, and

all Fibre Channel ports become inactive until the new active CP reinitializes these ports.

If this switch is part of a fabric, reboot the switch so that the remaining switches reconfigure.

When this command is issued on the standby CP, high availability (HA) synchronization is lost until the

standby CP successfully restarts.
