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 Admin Domain restrictions that may be in place. Refer
to chapter 1, "Understanding Admin Domain Restrictions" 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
