na_reboot - stop and then restart the filer
reboot [ -t minutes ]
reboot [ -s ]
reboot [ -r ]
reboot [ -d dump_string ]
reboot halts the filer and then restarts it. reboot is
commonly used to allow modified configuration files to
take effect or to run a newly installed version of Data
ONTAP.
NFS clients can maintain use of a file over a halt or
reboot, although the filer will fail to respond during
that time. CIFS, FCP, and iSCSI clients cannot safely
maintain use of a file over a halt or reboot. If the
filer is running CIFS, FCP or iSCSI, you may use the -t
option to specify the time before shutdown. If reboot is
invoked without -t, it displays the number of CIFS users,
the number of open CIFS files, the number of mapped LUNs
and the number of connected FCP and iSCSI clients. Then
it prompts you for the number of minutes to delay. cifs
terminate automatically notifies all CIFS clients that a
CIFS shut-down is scheduled in mins minutes, and asks them
to close their open files. CIFS files that are still open
at the time the filer reboots will lose writes that had
been cached but not written. FCP and iSCSI will not
notify clients, but will allow administrators to confirm
that the mapped LUNs are not in use. LUNs that are in use
at the time the filer reboots will result in client failures.
reboot logs a message in the /etc/messages file (see messages(5))
file to indicate that the filer was rebooted on
purpose.
-t minutes
Reboots after the indicated number of minutes.
Applies only if the filer is running CIFS, FCP
or iSCSI.
-
-s
- Initiates a clean system shutdown, followed by a
power cycle reboot. (When the -s flag is omitted,
reboot performs a clean shutdown but does
not power cycle the appliance.) The reboot -s
command is equivalent to physically turning the
power to the head off and back on after typing
"halt".
The reboot -s command does not power cycle the
appliance shelves.
-
-r
- Bypasses the shutdown process and initiates a
power cycle reboot, without first performing a
clean system shutdown. (When the -r flag is
omitted, reboot performs a clean shutdown but
does not power cycle the appliance.) The reboot
-r command is equivalent to physically turning
the power to the head off and back on, without
first halting the system.
Use this command only when instructed to do so
by technical support.
The reboot -r command does not power cycle the
appliance shelves.
-
-d dump_string
-
Dumps system core and reboots the filer. This
results in a dirty shutdown; cached data will
not be flushed to disk. The dump_string should
indicate the reason for the core dump. Because
it results in a dirty shutdown, the -d option
generally should not be used for normal maintenance
(see NOTES in na_halt(1)).
You cannot use the reboot command in partner mode to
reboot a failed filer.
If you reboot the live filer that has taken over the
failed filer, after the reboot, the live filer reinitiates
the takeover process.
