Reset Blade

Resetting a powered-on Server Module (blade) consists of restarting the blade operating system (OS). You can reset a blade from the ILOM web interface or command-line interface (CLI), as well as by pressing the blade Power button.

Using the ILOM Interfaces

Only Administrators can use the ILOM interfaces to reset a blade.

From the ILOM Web Interface

  1. Log in to the ILOM web interface on the service processor (SP) on the appropriate blade.

  2. From the Remote Control tab, select the Remote Power Control tab.

    The Server Power Control page appears.

  3. Using the drop-down list box, select Reset.

    The blade is immediately rebooted.

From the ILOM Command-Line Interface

  1. Log in to the ILOM CLI.

  2. You can use either of these commands to reset the blade:

    • From the ILOM CLI on the blade service processor, type: reset /SYS

    • From the ILOM CLI on the Chassis Monitoring Module, type: reset /CH/BL#/SYS

      Where # identifies the number of the blade you want to reset.

Using the Blade Power Button

  1. At the front of the system, identify the blade that you want to reset.

  2. Quickly press the blade Power button.

    This will initiate an orderly shutdown of the operating system. The green OK LED will change from Steady On to Standby Blink (on/off cycle at 0.1 second on, 2.9 seconds off) when the blade has finished powering off its operating system.

  3. When the blade indicator is in the Standby Blink state, quickly press the blade Power button again.

    The operating system is restarted on the blade. The green OK LED will transition to Steady On.
