RACADM 131
Description
The racreset subcommand issues a reset to the RAC. The user is allowed to select how many seconds
of delay occur before the reset sequence is started. The reset event is written into the RAC log.
The default option is soft. If you do not enter an option, the RACADM utility waits three seconds and
then runs the soft option with the racreset subcommand.
NOTE: A reboot is not necessary to apply configuration settings to the RAC. When the configuration settings affect
other system components, on the other hand, a reboot is necessary for the affected components to detect the
changes. For example, if remote floppy boot is enabled by the RACADM utility, the remote floppy image will not be
accessible by the system until the next reboot.
Input
NOTICE: You must reboot your system after performing a hard reset of the RAC as described in the following table.
Output

Examples
• racadcm racreset soft 1

Option Description
hard A hard reset resets the entire RAC and is as close to a power-on reset as can be achieved using
software. The RAC log, database, and selected daemons are shutdown gracefully prior to the reset.
A hard reset should be considered as a final effort. PCI configuration is lost.
soft A soft reset is a microprocessor and microprocessor subsystem reset that resets the processor core to
restart the software. PCI configurations are preserved. The RAC log, database, and selected daemons
are shutdown gracefully prior to the reset.
graceful A graceful reset is the same as a soft reset.
<delay> The user is allowed to select how many seconds of delay occur before the reset sequence is started.
A valid delay entry is between 1–60 seconds. The default is 3 seconds.
