Command line  60 
Item  Description 
Powers on a specific multi-blade server that occupies bays 1-4 of the primary 
enclosure 
Item  Description 
reboot server
Reboot one or more physical servers. 
Syntax 
reboot server <ServerID|*> [-Force]  
[-ForceOnTimeout] [-timeout=<timeout>
Parameter 
ServerID (required) 
The reference ID of a server in the domain. The format of the server ID is 
<EnclosureID:DeviceBay>. If the Enclosure ID is not provided, then the 
primary or local enclosure (enc0) is used by default. "*" reboots all servers in the 
domain. 
For a multi-blade server, the ServerID must be that of the monarch bay. This is the ID 
displayed by the 
show server
 command. 
Options 
Force 
Forces a reboot operation without waiting for the OS to shut down gracefully. This 
option should be used only as a last resort because it can cause potential data loss 
on the server. 
ForceOnTimeout 
Attempts a graceful shutdown, but if the server does not shut down within the 
timeout period (default is 60 seconds), then the server is forced to reboot. 
Timeout 
Specifies the timeout period (in seconds) to wait for the operation to complete (per 
server). The default timeout is 120 seconds.
