QuestionQ16

Introduction to Clustered Data ONTAP Basic Troubleshooting

Which command at the LOADER prompt makes sure that POST is performed during boot?

  • A setenv POST=true
  • B bye
  • C boot_diag
  • D boot_ontap
Explanation

Issuing the bye command at the boot LOADER prompt reboots the node the same way a power cycle would, forcing the system to repost and rescan all installed hardware, thereby guaranteeing that Power-On Self-Test (POST) runs as part of the subsequent boot; by contrast, boot_ontap simply resumes booting the currently loaded ONTAP kernel without re-triggering a POST cycle.
