Syntax
card restart target_slot [ -force ] [ -noconfirm ]
target_slot

-force
Indicates the restart is to take place ignoring any state or usage warnings that might be generated.
-noconfirm
Executes the command without any additional prompt and confirmation from the user.
Usage
Restarting a card may be useful when a card is not performing as expected (performance drop, increased
response delays, etc.). A restart may be preferred to a reboot as the card becomes available in less time than a
reboot.
When this command is issued for an active card, the user is prompted for confirmation unless the
response delays, etc.). A restart may be preferred to a reboot as the card becomes available in less time than a
reboot.
When this command is issued for an active card, the user is prompted for confirmation unless the
-force
and/or
-noconfirm
keywords are used. Because the reboot of standby or redundant cards is non-service
impacting, the reboot proceeds immediately after the command execution without user confirmation.
Caution:
Caution should be taken in using this command. Restarting a card which has no redundant card
available may cause a service interruption and loss of active sessions.
Important:
This command is not supported on all platforms.
Caution:
The
-force
and
-noconfirm
options should only be used concurrently by experienced users as this
will cause an immediate restart regardless of warnings and no confirmation from the user.
