Resetting or Inhibiting Processor Modules and Power Supplies
Xyplex>> reset chassis slot 2
After you enter this command, the processor module begins the initialization process. As
this happens, initialization messages appear on the screen when you press the Return key.
When the process is complete, the user interface displays a welcome message, such as the
one in this example, and prompts you to log on:
Welcome to the Xyplex Terminal Server
Enter Username>
The log-on banner and prompt on your system may be different.
Inhibiting a Processor Module
The RESET CHASSIS SLOT HOLD command is equivalent to pressing the reset button on
the front panel once. Inhibiting a processor module suspends all activity on that module
until you reset it, either with the RESET CHASSIS SLOT command or by pressing the Reset
button once.
Notes:
•
If you inhibit (HOLD) the processor module where you are logged on, you cannot
reset it from the command interface because the command processor is no longer
active. (You can press the reset button on the front panel of the processor module to
reinitialize it or issue the RESET CHASSIS SLOT command from another
processor module in the chassis.)
•
If a user inhibits the processor module by pressing the Reset button once, you
cannot override this state through this chassis management command. You must
press the Reset button again to reinitialize the processor module.
•
Inhibiting a module while it is loading operational parameters or sending
diagnostic information to a dump server interrupts this process. This can possibly
corrupt the parameter file or the dump file.
•
Inhibiting a module is operational will interrupt active users.
The following example inhibits the terminal server in slot 2. Entering the command
terminates all active sessions.
Xyplex>> reset chassis slot 2 hold
The command interface is now inactive. To activate this processor module, you reset it by
pressing the Reset button or with RESET CHASSIS SLOT command.
Resetting or Inhibiting a Power Supply
Most of the time, you will not need to reset or inhibit a PS/130 power supply. The command
interface allows you to reset power supplies and inhibit redundant power supplies, however,
if you need to do so. You cannot inhibit (HOLD) a required power supply through the
command interface, because doing so would interrupt the flow of power to modules in the
chassis.
