1.1 Device Management Overview

Through the device management function, you can view the current working state of a

device, configure running parameters, and perform daily device maintenance and

management.

Currently, the following device management functions are available:

z Rebooting a device

z Rebooting a device at a specified time

z Specifying a Boot ROM file for the next device reboot

z Upgrading a Boot ROM file

z Configuring temperature alarm thresholds for a board

z Clearing the 16-bit Interface Indexes Not Used in the Current System

1.2 Configuring Device Management

1.2.1 Rebooting a Device

In some cases, you need to reboot the device; for example, after upgrading the Boot

ROM, you can reboot the device to make it take effect. This operation is equal to

powering on the device after powering it off. It is mainly used to reboot a device in

remote maintenance, without performing hardware reboot of the device. You can set a

time at which the device can automatically reboot. You can also set a delay so that the

device can automatically reboot in the delay.

Follow these steps to reboot a device:

To do… Use the command… Remarks

Reboot a board or the

whole system

reboot [ slot slot-number ]

Optional

Available in user view.

Enable the scheduled

reboot function and specify

a specific reboot time and

date

schedule reboot at

hh:mm [ date ]

Enable the scheduled

reboot function and specify

a reboot waiting time

schedule reboot delay

{ hh:mm | mm }

Optional

The scheduled reboot

function is disabled by

default.

Available in user view.

Caution:

z The precision of the rebooting timer is 1 minute. One minute before the rebooting

time, the device will prompt a specific reboot time and date and will reboot one

minute after this reboot time.

z The execution of the schedule reboot at, and schedule reboot delay commands

can reboot a device. As a result, the ongoing services will be interrupted. Be careful

to use these commands.

z The execution of the reboot command may reboot the whole system, resulting in

the interruption of the ongoing services. Be careful to use the command. For the

details of the reboot command, refer to Device Management Commands.

z If a primary boot file fails or does not exist, the device cannot be rebooted with this

command. In this case, you can re-specify a primary boot file to reboot the device, or

you can power off the device then power it on and the system automatically uses the

secondary boot file to restart the device.

z If you are performing file operations when the device is to be rebooted, the system

removes the reboot operation for the sake of security.

1.2.2 Specifying a Boot ROM File for the Next Device Boot

A Boot ROM file is an application file used to boot the device. When multiple Boot ROM

files are available on the storage device, you can specify a file for the next device boot

by executing the following command.

Operation Manual – Device Management

H3C S9500 Series Routing Switches Chapter 1 Device Management

1-3

Follow these steps to specify a file for the next device boot:

To do… Use the command… Remarks

Specify a Boot ROM file

on a board

boot-loader file file-url

slot slot-number { main |

backup }

Required

Available in user view.

Caution:

The file for the next device boot must be saved under the root directory of the device

(for a device supporting storage device partition, the file must be saved on the first

partition). You can copy or move a file to change the path of it to the root directory.

1.2.3 Upgrading Boot ROM

During the operation of the device, you can use Boot ROM in the storage device to

upgrade those that are running on the device.

Follow these steps to upgrade Boot ROM:

To do… Use the command… Remarks

Upgrade the Boot ROM

program on a board(s)

bootrom update file

file-url slot

slot-number-list

Required

Available in user view

 Note:

Restart the device to validate the upgraded Boot ROM.

1.2.4 Configuring a Detection Interval

When detecting an exception on a port, the operation, administration and maintenance

(OAM) module will automatically shut down the port. The device will detect the status of

the port when a detection interval elapses. If the port is still shut down, the device will

recover it.

If you change the detection interval at t to T1, the interval from t to the time when the

previous detection starts is T.

z If T1<T, the interface which is down will be brought up immediately at t;

z If T1>=T, the interface which is down will be brought up after T1-T time.

Operation Manual – Device Management

Follow these steps to configure a detection interval:

To do… Use the command… Remarks

Enter system view

system-view

—

Configure a detection

interval

shutdown-interval time

Optional

30 seconds by default.

1.2.5 Configuring Temperature Alarm Thresholds for a Board

You can set temperature alarm thresholds for a board by using the following command.

When the temperature of a board exceeds the threshold, the device will generate alarm

signals.

Follow these steps to configure temperature alarm thresholds for a board:

To do… Use the command… Remarks

Enter system view

system-view

—

Configure temperature

alarm thresholds for a

board

temperature-limit

slot-number lower-value

upper-value

Optional

The lower value is 10 and

the upper level is 70 by

default.

1.2.6 Configuring the Load Mode for the Active Main Board and Standby Main

Board

Two load modes are available between active main board (AMB) and standby main

board (SMB) of a device: load sharing (BALANCE) and active/standby mode (SINGLE).

You can use the xbar command to configure the load mode for a board.

Follow these steps to configure the load mode for the AMB and SMB:

To do… Use the command… Remarks

Enter system view

system-view

—

Configure the load mode

for the AMB and SMB

xbar { load-balance |

load-single }

Optional

The AMB and SMB work

in the active/standby

mode by default.

Operation Manual – Device Management

H3C S9500 Series Routing Switches Chapter 1 Device Management

1-5

Caution:

Only when both the AMB and the SMB are in the slot can the load sharing mode be

valid; otherwise, even if the load sharing mode is configured the active board will

automatically switch to the active/standby mode.

1.2.7 Clearing the 16-bit Interface Indexes Not Used in the Current System

In practical networks, the network management software requires the device to provide

a uniform, stable 16-bit interface index. That is, a one-to-one relationship should be

kept between the interface name and the interface index in the same device.

For the purpose of the stability of an interface index, the system will save the 16-bit

interface index when a board or logical interface is removed.

If you repeatedly insert and remove different subboards or interface boards to create or

delete a large amount of logical interface, the interface indexes will be used up, which

will result in interface creation failures. To avoid such a case, you can clear all 16bit

interface indexes saved but not used in the current system in user view.

After the above operation,

z For a re-created interface, the new interface index may not be consistent with the

original one.

z For existing interfaces, their interface indexes remain unchanged.

Follow the step below to clear the 16bit interface indexes not used in the current

system:

To do… Use the command… Remarks

Clear the 16-bit interface indexes saved

but not used in the current system

reset unused porttag

Required

Caution:

A confirmation is required when you execute this command. If you fail to make a

confirmation within 30 seconds or enter “N” to cancel the operation, the command will

not be executed.
