If this command is ONLY for operating on the opposite Blade in the
Cougar chassis, then maybe it the command could be like this:

'system reset opposite blade' or ever 'system reset opposite chassis
blade' (just to make sure the user knows what it means in a large
cluster)

This command would have a usage message if the whole command isn't
entered. There should also be a yes/no confirmation.

Subject: Addition of new system cmd option for resetting alternate blade

Hi folks,

I have been requested to add new system command option for Cougar that
allows the alternate blade in the chassis to be rebooted.
It will reduce the need to power cycle the entire chassis when a blade
is hung and unresponsive.

Note that it will only work with changes that BrianS made in the BMFPGA
(version 4 or higher). =20
So the command will check the version and return an error if it cannot
be performed as requested.

Use of the "reset -s" option name is rather arbitrary so I am open to
renaming it to whatever makes more sense.

The help page describes the command as follows:

NAME

        system reset             Reboots the alternate blade of a NAS
Gateway.

SYNOPSIS

        system reset -s

DESCRIPTION

        This command causes a remote system reboot in the other blade of
a 6000 series NAS Gateway.=20
        It is useful when a system reboot cannot be reliably performed
from within the blade itself.

SEE ALSO

        system reboot           Reboots the NAS Gateway from the
specified compact flash card.


Thanks,
Rendell
