Where devicename is the device ID of the service processor as derived from the fwupdate list all command. This command only resets the service processor. It does not reset the host.
To reset a specific controller, type:
fwupdate reset controller -n c2
This command resets the controller identified as c2 when using the fwupdate list all command.
