Resetting or Inhibiting Processor Modules and Power Supplies
[DEFINE SERVER] RESET CHASSIS [HOLD]
Reset or inhibit a processor module or power supply
The [DEFINE SERVER] RESET CHASSIS [HOLD] command resets or
inhibits (holds) a processor module or a PS/130 power supply.
Notes
When you reset a processor module, it runs diagnostic programs, and
reloads software and parameters. This process takes several minutes. If
you press the <Return> key during this time, the initialization program
displays status messages on the screen.
When you reset a terminal server, the terminal server restores all
characteristics to the values in the permanent database, including those
characteristics you specified with the SET command.
The HOLD command suspends all operations on the processor module.
To release the HOLD state, issue the RESET command again without the
HOLD keyword. If you hold the local processor module with this
command, however, you cannot reset it from the command interface
because the command processor is no longer active. (You can physically
press the reset button on the front panel of the processor module to
reinitialize it or issue the RESET CHASSIS command from another
processor module in the chassis.)
The HOLD command shuts down or "Inhibits" a redundant power supply,
and it stops providing power to modules in the chassis.
