Usage

This command reboots a single management module in a chassis. Choose the management module to reboot by role (active or standby) or by slot number.

You can use the show images command to show information about the primary and secondary system images.

If you reboot the active management module and the standby management module is available, the active management module reboots and the standby management module becomes the active management module.

If you reboot the active management module and the standby management module is not available, you are warned, you are prompted to save the configuration, and you are prompted to confirm the operation.

If you reboot the standby management module, the standby management module reboots and remains the standby management module.

If you attempt to reboot a management module that is not available, the boot command is aborted.

Saving the configuration is not required. However, if you attempt to save the configuration and there is an error during the save operation, the boot command is aborted.

NOTE:

Hewlett Packard Enterprise recommends that you use the boot management-module command instead of pressing the module reset button to reboot a management module because if you are rebooting the only available management module, the boot management-module command enables you to save the configuration, cancel the reboot, or both.

Examples

Rebooting the active management module when the standby management module is available:

switch# boot management-module active
The management-module in slot 1/5 is going down for reboot now.

Rebooting the active management module when the standby management module is not available:

switch# boot management-module 1/5
The management module in slot 1/5 is currently active and no
standby management module was found.
This will reboot the entire switch.

Do you want to save the current configuration (y/n)? n

This will reboot the entire switch and render it unavailable
until the process is complete.
Continue (y/n)? y
The system is going down for reboot.
