Release 7.0.1	This command was introduced.

Usage Guidelines

To use this command, you must be in a user group associated with a task group that includes appropriate task IDs. If the user group assignment is preventing you from using a command, contact your AAA administrator for assistance.

Use the reload command to cause the RP to reload the Cisco IOS XR software according to the configuration register setting (for example, 0x0 to enter ROMMON mode and 0x2 to reload the RP to EXEC mode). If a standby RP is in the ready redundancy state, the reload command also causes the router to fail over to the standby RP. Use the show redundancy command in EXEC mode to display the status of the standby RP.

When the reload command is used and a switchover occurs, the running (active) software configuration is automatically maintained during switchover.

Caution

If a standby RP is not installed or is not in the ready state, then the router experiences a loss of service while the active RP is reloading Cisco IOS XR software. To view the status of the standby RP, issue the show redundancy command in EXEC mode.

If you use the reload command and there is no available standby node, you are prompted to continue with the reload:



Router# reload

Standby card not present or not Ready for failover. Proceed?[confirm]y

root-lr	execute

Examples

The following example shows how to reload the active RP. If a standby RP is in the ready state, then the router fails over to the standby RP. If the standby RP is not installed or is not in the ready state, then the router enters ROMMON mode and routing operations stop.

reload (administration EXEC)

To reload a node or all nodes on a single chassis or multishelf system, use the reload command in the appropriate mode.

reload [location {node-id | all} | rack rack-number]

Syntax Description


location	(Optional) Specifies the node to reload.
`node-id`	The `node-id` argument is expressed in the `rack/` `slot/` `module` notation.
all	The all keyword specifies all RP nodes.
`rack-number`	Rack number of the line card chassis or fabric chassis.

Command Default

None

Usage Guidelines

To use this command, you must be in a user group associated with a task group that includes appropriate task IDs. If the user group assignment is preventing you from using a command, contact your AAA administrator for assistance.

Note

Before reloading nodes on the router, we recommend using the cfs check command to check the sanity of the configuration file system and attempt to recover from internal inconsistencies.

To reload a specific node on the router, specify the reload command with the location node-id keyword and argument. The node-id is expressed in the rack/ slot notation.

Task ID


Task ID	Operations
root-system	execute

Examples

The following example shows how to reload all nodes on the router:

Router(admin)# reload location all
Graceful reload of all nodes not supported
Assuming 'force'
Operation may result in file corruptions or loss of config. Proceed [Y/N]? y

Examples

Note

To ensure the sanity of the configuration file system, enter the cfs check command on the router.

show epm trace boot

To display execution path monitoring traces, use the show epm trace boot command in administration EXEC mode.

show epm trace boot [hexdump] [last n] [reverse] [stats] [tailf] [unique] [verbose] [wrapping] [file filename original] [location {node-id | all}]

Syntax Description

Table 1. show mirror Field Descriptions

Field

Description

Mirroring Enabled

Indicates whether mirroring is enabled or disabled.

Configured Primary

If mirroring is enabled, the configured primary disk for mirroring.

Configured Secondary

If mirroring is enabled, the configured secondary disk for mirroring.

Current Mirroring State

Current status of mirroring. Possible values are as follows:

Syncing files—Files are being synchronized between the primary and secondary disks.

Not Configured—Mirroring is not configured.

Mirroring Paused—In this state, no mirroring is being done to the secondary device and the disk redundancy has been removed. The values of the BOOT_DEV_SEQ_OPER and MIRROR_ENABLE variables reflect this.

Redundant—The primary and secondary disks are totally in synchronization. Any read or write failure on the primary device results in disk redundancy switchover such that all operations are performed on the secondary device.

Current Physical Primary

Current primary disk.

Current Physical Secondary

Current secondary disk.

Mirroring Logical Device

Device name used by the mirroring process to intercept all application requests to that named device before passing them through to one of the mirrored physical devices.

Physical Device

Physical disk in router.

State

Status of the disk. Possible values are as follows:

Available—Disk exists in router and is available.

Not present—Disk does not exist in router. Partitioning of disks is available only after the disk has been formatted with the partition keyword.

Flags

Enabled—Disk mirroring has been enabled on this device and the device is part of the mirroring process.

Repaired—During the boot, some minor inconsistencies were discovered on the disk and were repaired to make the file system consistent.

Formatted—Disk was formatted before mirroring was enabled.

BOOT_DEV_SEQ_CONF=

ROM Monitor environmental variable for the boot disk sequence. This variable is is set when mirroring is enabled through the mirror configuration command. The devices in this ROMMON variable declare the primary and the secondary devices of the mirroring process. The first device is the primary device and the second device is the secondary device in the mirroring process.

Note

This variable is also shared by the disk backup feature. This variable can also be set or unset using the system boot-sequence command of the disk backup feature. But the use of system boot-sequence and system backup commands is blocked, if mirroring is enabled.

BOOT_DEV_SEQ_OPER=

ROM Monitor environmental variable that reflects the state of the disk redundancy status. When mirroring is enabled and the state is redundant, this variable is set to the primary device followed by the secondary device. When mirroring is not in the redundancy state, then this variable is updated to contain only the primary device.

MIRROR_ENABLE

ROM Monitor environmental variable whose value reflects the mirroring status. If it is set to Y, then mirroring is enabled. If it is set to P, then mirroring is paused. If empty, mirroring is not enabled.

show reboot

To display reboot information for a node, use the show reboot command in the appropriate mode.

show reboot {history | [reverse]} location node-id

Syntax Description

first

(Optional) Displays information about the first ungraceful reboot.

last

(Optional) Displays information about the last ungraceful reboot.

crashinfo

Displays crash information for an ungraceful reboot.

syslog

Displays the syslogs related to an ungraceful reboot.

trace

Displays trace information for an ungraceful reboot.

graceful

Displays information about the last graceful reboot.

history

Displays the reboot history of a specific node.

reverse

(Optional) Displays the reboot history information in reverse chronological order.

Note

Starting from Cisco IOS XR Release 24.3.1, the reverse keyword is deprecated and will not be supported in future releases.

location node-id

Specifies which node to reload. The node-id argument is expressed in the rack/ slot notation.

Command Default

None

Command Modes

Administration EXEC

Command History


Release	Modification
Release 24.3.1	The reverse keyword is deprecated and will not be supported in future releases. Hence the show reboot history reverse location command is also not supported.

Usage Guidelines

To use this command, you must be in a user group associated with a task group that includes appropriate task IDs. If the user group assignment is preventing you from using a command, contact your AAA administrator for assistance.

The history keyword for the show reboot command displays all reboot causes stored for previous node resets.

Crash information ( crashinfo ), syslog, and kernel dumper ltrace ( trace ) can be displayed for the first or last reboot if it is an ungraceful reboot.
