This command has subcommands. This table describes the subcommands and provides their syntax.

Subcommand Description access-core-files Sets the system core files as readable. broadcast Sends a message to all CLI users who are logged in. cancel Cancels one of these pending operations: restart shutdown clear Optional. Performs one of the following actions: config – Clears your configuration by completely wiping it out and starting over. This command resets all values in the fabric's configuration database to the factory defaults. When you use the system clear config command, you are prompted for confirmation before the configuration is cleared. When prompted, type confirm to clear the configuration. Any answer other than confirm aborts the system clear config command. garbage – Removes failed processes, such as failed image installations. logs – Removes existing error and warning logs. export Before you upgrade the software through a chassis upgrade, export your system configuration to an XML file. The system export command is also used to back up the configuration of an I/O module. For more information about modules, refer to Managing a Module in Oracle Fabric OS 1.0.2 Administration Guide. import Loads a configuration file into the system. If you import a configuration, the system migrates the old configuration to the new. The file is imported in XML format. If your running configuration gets lost during a chassis software upgrade, you can import the old one.

For more information on upgrading the leaf switch, refer to Upgrading the Switch Firmware (nm3tool) in Oracle EDR InfiniBand Switch and Virtualized I/O Systems Administration Guide. install ssh-key Installs SSH software on the system. logout Forces a user to logout (administrator only). restart-ilom Restarts Oracle ILOM on the hardware. For more information, refer to Controlling the Switch (Oracle ILOM CLI) in Oracle EDR InfiniBand Switch and Virtualized I/O Systems Administration Guide. restart-ofos Restarts Oracle Fabric OS and the base OS on the hardware. For more information, refer to Controlling the Switch (Oracle ILOM Web) in Oracle EDR InfiniBand Switch and Virtualized I/O Systems Administration Guide. shutdown Stops all processes and shuts off power to all components in the chassis. All power is deactivated. verify Verifies the integrity of the installation.

Options

Option Description –delay Defines the number of seconds before the shutdown begins. –force Performs the shutdown immediately, prompting for confirmation. –noconfirm Switches off confirmation prompts. The shutdown completes without prompting you for confirmation. The argument automatically answers yes to any prompts. –now Performs the shutdown immediately.

Example: Clear All Configuration

This example shows how to clear all configuration information from the system and restart. If you are running OpenSM, disable the IB subnet manager first and then run the system clear config command. After you shut down the IB subnet manager, its status changes to standby mode.

[OFOS] set ib sm down
Disabling IB Subnet Manager will disrupt traffic on the network.  Are you sure (y/n)?
[OFOS] system clear config
This is a destructive operation. Your configuration will be cleared and the system will be restarted.
Please type 'confirm' to clear the configuration and restart the system.
[OFOS] confirm

Example: Save and Restore System Configuration

This example shows how to export a saved configuration and restore the system.

[OFOS] system export myconfig.xml 
[OFOS] system import myconfig.xml
