Rebooting A Module Or The Firewall - HP F5000 Installation Manual

Rebooting a module or the firewall

To reboot a firewall, use one of the following methods:
Use the reboot command to reboot a firewall.
•
Enable the scheduled reboot function at the CLI. You can set a time at which the firewall can
•
automatically reboot, or set a delay so that the firewall can automatically reboot within the delay.
Power on the firewall after powering it off, which is also called hard reboot or cold start. Powering
•
off a running firewall causes data loss and hardware damages, and therefore is not recommended.
Perform the following operation to reboot the firewall immediately:
To do...
Reboot the firewall or the module
in the specified slot immediately
Perform the following operation to enable the scheduled reboot function:
To do...
Enable the scheduled reboot function and
specify a specific reboot time and date
Enable the scheduled reboot function and
specify a reboot waiting time
CAUTION:
If you execute the reboot command without specifying the slot keyword, the command reboots the
•
firewall.
If no host software file is specified, do not use the reboot command to reboot the firewall. In this case,
•
you should specify the host software file first, and then reboot the firewall.
• The precision of the rebooting timer is 1 minute. One minute before the rebooting time, the firewall
prompts "REBOOT IN ONE MINUTE" and reboots in one minute.
If you are performing file operations when the firewall is to be rebooted, the system does not execute the
•
reboot command for security.
Use the command...
reboot [ slot slot-number ]
Use the command...
schedule reboot at hh:mm
[ date ]
schedule reboot delay
{ hh:mm | mm }
