You need to think of this like a customer.  They have no idea about what
is blade 0 and what is blade 1.
What they know is that they want a particular node, which they will know
by name, to either halt or reboot.

I would suggest that we use the existing system reboot and halt commands
and give them an optional SSC host name.  If the name matches the node
you are logged into, or is omitted, it works just like today.  If it's
the name of the other blade in the chassis it uses the new
functionality.  If it's none of the above we report that this is not
supported.

Hi Rendell,

Can we still use system reboot instead of system reset as they are the
same?

Should blade be qualified to avoid potential confusion?  Like "altblade"
or "otherblade".
Do we need a "-y" option like system reboot?

I would use an object rather than an option, and replace -s by "blade"
or whatever else is meaningful.

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
