Introduction to Clustered Data ONTAP Basic Troubleshooting

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

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.
