Most network engineers that are familiar with cisco equipment are aware that you can schedule a reboot (reload). HPE Comware offers this facility in current v5 and v7 release trains.
Comware 5
For Comware, the command used is schedule:
- To reboot a system at a specific time the command is
schedule reboot at hh:mm. - Te reboot a system after an elapsed time interval the command is
schedule reload delay [ mm | hh:mm]where hh is a placeholder for hours and mm is the placeholder for minutes
You can use the command display schedule reboot to display the status of any scheduled reboots.
To cancel a scheduled reboot, use undo schedule reboot
Below is an example of what is displayed on the command line when interacting with a schedule.
<HP_TEST-SW-5120>schedule reboot delay 10
Reboot system at 08:21 01/24/2015(in 0 hour(s) and 10 minute(s)). confirm? [Y/N]:Y
<HP_TEST-SW-5120>display schedule reboot
System will reboot at 08:21 01/24/2015 (in 0 hours and 9 minutes).
<HP_TEST-SW-5120>undo schedule reboot
<HP_TEST-SW-5120>display schedule reboot
<HP_TEST-SW-5120>Comware 7
With the advent of Comware 7, HPE changed the schedule command, and it is now scheduler. The usage of it is very similar:
- To reboot a system at a specific time the command is
scheduler reboot at hh:mm - To reboot a system after an elapsed time interval, the command is
scheduler reload delay [ mm | hh:mm]where hh is a placeholder for hours and mm is the placeholder for minutes - You can use the command
display schedule rebootto display the status of any scheduled reboots. - To cancel a scheduled reboot, use
undo schedule reboot
