Chapter 12 Command Line Interface Reference

halt

To prepare the storage router to be powered down, issue the halt command.

halt [force] [fast]

Syntax Description

Defaults If there are unsaved configuration changes when the command is issued, the default is to save all changes

before halting. If the command is issued with the optional force keyword, any unsaved configuration

changes are discarded.

Command Modes Administrator.

Command History

Usage Guidelines The halt command prepares the SN 5428-2 Storage Router file system to be powered down. If the

storage router is participating in a cluster, the halt command will cause any SCSI routing instances

running on this SN 5428-2 to failover to another storage router in the cluster.

If the halt command is issued with no keywords and there are unsaved changes to the current

configuration, you are prompted to save or discard the changes.

Use the force keyword to cause an immediate halt of the storage router, discarding any unsaved

configuration changes. Append the optional fast keyword to bypass diagnostics when the storage router

is restarted.

When the halt command completes, the storage router displays the following system prompt:

[HALTED]#

The storage router can be safely powered down when the HALTED system prompt appears. The only

CLI command that can be issued from the storage router at the HALTED system prompt is the reboot

command.

Note When the storage router is restarted, the cluster determines any SCSI routing instances that should start

on the SN 5428-2. If the storage router is identified as the preferred storage router for any SCSI routing

instance (via the scsirouter primary command), that instance will start running on the SN 5428-2

(assuming targets and critical resources are available).

force (Optional) Force an immediate halt of the SN 5428-2 Storage Router.

fast (Optional) Bypass hardware diagnostics when the storage router is next

restarted.
