HP 3Gb SAS Switch for HP BladeSystem c-Class - Manual (Page 82)

Resetting the switch or attached storage enclosures
To restart the switch or an attached zoned SAS storage enclosure such as the MDS600, use the
following command description:
Syntax <target> reset [ hardware|software ] [ forced ]
Example 1: This example demonstrates restarting the switch:
=> sw local reset hardware
Example 2: This example demonstrates restarting the VSM application on the switch (required after
updating switch network settings):
=> sw local reset software
Example 3: This example demonstrates restarting storage enclosures connected to ports 3 and 4
of the switch in interconnect bay 7:
=> sw local se portbox=73:1,74:1 reset hardware
Example 4: This example demonstrates restarting all storage enclosures connected to the switch:
=> sw local se all reset hardware
NOTE: If the reset command does not execute successfully or displays an error message,
consider the following:
•
Storage enclosure model—Only supported storage enclosures can be reset.
•
Switch status—If the status is a value other than Active or Not Redundant, resetting the storage
enclosure is not allowed.
•
Server blade status—All server blades in the c-Class enclosure must be powered off to perform
this task.
•
VSM activity—If the VSM GUI or VSM CLI is already processing a firmware update on a
switch or storage enclosure, this command request cannot be processed.
Issue the rescan command to ensure displayed information is up-to-date. Correct any issues before
proceeding.
