Reset Raid Controller Module - Dell PowerVault MD3620f Command Line Interface Manual

Reset RAID Controller Module

This command resets a RAID controller module.
NOTE:
When you reset a RAID controller module, the RAID controller module is not
available for I/O operations until the reset is complete. If a host is using virtual disks
owned by the RAID controller module being reset, the I/O directed to the RAID
controller module is rejected. Before resetting the RAID controller module, either
verify that the virtual disks owned by the RAID controller module are not in use or
ensure a multipath driver is installed on all hosts using these virtual disks.
Syntax
reset controller [(0 | 1)]

Parameter
controller
Additional Information
The RAID controller module that receives the reset RAID controller module
command resets the RAID controller module specified. For example, if the
reset RAID controller module command is sent to RAID controller module 0
to request a reset of RAID controller module 0, then RAID controller module
0 reboots itself by doing a soft reboot. If the reset RAID controller module
command is sent to RAID controller module 0 to request a reset of RAID
controller module 1, then RAID controller module 0 holds RAID controller
module 1 in reset and then releases RAID controller module 1 from reset,
which is a hard reboot. A soft reboot in some products only resets the IOC
chip. A hard reboot resets both the IOC chip and the expander chips in the
RAID controller module.
