208 RACADM
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
CAUTION: You must reboot your system after performing a hard reset of the RAC
as described in the following table.
Output
None
Table 6-21. racreset Subcommand Options
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.
