Resetting NIs - OS10K
After performing an ISSU upgrade the NIs must be reset to complete the ISSU upgrade. They can be reset
manually using the ‘issu slot’ or ‘reload slot’commands. If the NIs are not reset by the time the NI reset
timer expires (Refer to “Getting Started Specifications” on page 1-2), they will be reset individually by the
system in ascending order beginning with slot 1. Once the reset NI reaches a ready state, the next one is
reset. This process continues until all NIs have been reset.
