Manually reboot an Infiniband Switch

The base on the requirement this will be a DBMA Task

  • Do NOT reboot both Exadata Switches at the same time — you’ll get into lots of trouble
  • An IB Switch ILOM is embedded within the Switch itself and has to be accessed using the ILOM shell with the “spsh” command and then use the “reset /SP” command to reboot the Switch as shown below
# ssh myclustersw-ib3
# spsh
-> reset /SP
Are you sure you want to reset /SP (y/n)? y

[root@myclusterdb01 ~]# ssh myclustersw-ib3

You are now logged in to the root shell.
It is recommended to use ILOM shell instead of root shell.
All usage should be restricted to documented commands and documented
config files.
To view the list of documented commands, use "help" at linux prompt.
