Rebooting A Card Or The Switch - HP 7500 Series Installation Manual

Task
Save the running configuration to
the root directory of the storage
medium and specify the file as the
startup configuration file for the

NOTE:
The startup configuration file for the next reboot might be lost if a reboot or power failure has occurred
during the saving process, and the switch will reboot with the default configuration. After the switch
reboots, you must re-specify the startup configuration file for the next reboot.
For more information about the save commands, see HP 7500 Switch Switches Fundamentals

Rebooting a card or the switch

You must reboot the switch after you upgrade or maintain its boot file or configuration file. You must also
reboot an MPU or LPU after you change its operating mode. The following methods are available for you
to reboot the switch or a card:
Reboot the switch or a card at once.
•
Schedule an automatic reboot of the switch at a specific data and time, or after a certain amount
•
of time.
Power off and then power on the switch. Use this approach with caution. Powering off a running
•
switch can cause data loss and hardware damages.
To reboot the switch or a card at once:
