At stages of chassis and interface setup, you need to reinitialize chassis firmware or restore interface card
configurations. Use the
reload
command because it allows the chassis to close files and prepare for
shutdown. The
reload
command brings down the entire Server Switch and restarts all of the cards in the
Server Switch.
The Server Switch prompts you to verify the reload. If you have not already saved configuration changes,
and the Server Switch detects the changes, it prompts you to save. To store the new configuration as the
startup configuration, enter yes at the prompt. To store the configuration elsewhere under a different file
name, enter the new file name and press Enter.
The system reinitializes itself and then loads the active system image and the startup configuration file.
Wait a few minutes and attempt to log onto the chassis.
Note If your Server Switch includes a second controller card, the CLI will prompt you to save changes to the
backup controller as well as to the primary controller.
Examples The following example reloads the Server Switch:
SFS-7000P# reload
System configuration has been modified. Save?
[yes(default)/no/*.cfg] yes
Proceed with reload? [confirm]
SFS-7000P#
Connection to host lost.
#
no-failover
(Cisco SFS

(Optional) Forces a Cisco SFS 3012 to run from the same controller card
when it reboots. By default, Cisco SFS 3012 Server Switches swap active
controller cards when they reboot.
