This command resets blade servers, blade server integrated system management processors (service processors), I/O modules, or the primary management module.

Table 1. reset command
Function	What it does	Command	Valid targets
Reset	Performs an immediate reset and restart of the specified device.	`reset` Command use restricted (see Commands and user authority).	`-T system:blade[x]` `-T system:switch[x]` `-T system:blade[x]:sp` `-T system:mm[x]` where x is the blade server, I/O-module, or primary management-module bay number.
Reset blade server to command console	Opens a command console with an SOL session when the specified blade server is reset.	`reset -c` Command use restricted (see Commands and user authority).	`-T system:blade[x]` where x is the blade server bay number.
Reset with failover	Resets the specified command target, enabling failover if a redundant (standby) component for the command target is present. An error message is displayed if you try to failover a management module when a standby management module is not installed or if the firmware in the one of the management modules is updating.	`reset -f` Command use restricted (see Commands and user authority).	`-T system:mm[x]` where x is the primary management-module bay number.
Reset I/O module with standard diagnostics	Performs an immediate reset and restart of the specified device, running standard diagnostics on the I/O module after it restarts. Running the `reset -std` command gives the same result as running the `reset` command on a I/O module.	`reset -std` Command use restricted (see Commands and user authority).	`-T system:switch[x]` where x is the I/O-module bay number.
Reset I/O module with extended diagnostics	Performs an immediate reset and restart of the specified device, running extended diagnostics on the I/O module after it restarts.	`reset -exd` Command use restricted (see Commands and user authority).	`-T system:switch[x]` where x is the I/O-module bay number.
Reset I/O module with full diagnostics	Performs an immediate reset and restart of the specified device, running full diagnostics on the I/O module after it restarts.	`reset -full` Command use restricted (see Commands and user authority).	`-T system:switch[x]` where x is the I/O-module bay number.
Restart blade server with NMI	Performs an immediate reset and restart of the specified blade server. Command results depend on the blade server model that is specified: For a JS12 or JS22 blade server, this option is not available. For a JS20 blade server, the command performs an immediate reset and restart of the specified blade server with non-maskable interrupt (NMI). For all other blade servers, the command performs an immediate reset and restart of the specified blade server.	`reset -sft` Command use restricted (see Commands and user authority).	`-T system:blade[x]` where x is the blade server bay number.
Restart blade server and clear NVRAM	Performs an immediate reset and restart of the specified blade server. Command results depend on the blade server model that is specified: For a JS12 or JS22 blade server, this option is not available. For a JS20 blade server, the command performs an immediate reset and restart of the specified JS20 blade server and clears all settings stored in non-volatile memory (NVRAM). For all other blade servers, the command performs an immediate reset and restart of the specified blade server.	`reset -clr` Command use restricted (see Commands and user authority).	`-T system:blade[x]` where x is the blade server bay number.
Restart blade server and run diagnostics	Performs an immediate reset and restart of the specified blade server. Command results depend on the blade server model that is specified: For a JS12 or JS22 blade server, this option is not available. For a JS20 blade server, the command performs an immediate reset and restart of the specified JS20 blade server and runs diagnostics. For all other blade servers, the command performs an immediate reset and restart of the specified blade server.	`reset -dg` Command use restricted (see Commands and user authority).	`-T system:blade[x]` where x is the blade server bay number.
Restart blade server and run diagnostics using default boot sequence	Performs an immediate reset and restart of the specified blade server. Command results depend on the blade server model that is specified: For a JS12 or JS22 blade server, this option is not available. For a JS20 blade server, the command performs an immediate reset and restart of the specified JS20 blade server and runs diagnostics using the default boot sequence configured for the blade server. For all other blade servers, the command performs an immediate reset and restart of the specified blade server.	`reset -ddg` Command use restricted (see Commands and user authority).	`-T system:blade[x]` where x is the blade server bay number.

Example: To reset the service processor on the blade server in blade bay 5, while the BladeCenter® unit is set as the persistent command environment, at the system> prompt, type

                  reset

The following example shows the information that is returned:

               system> reset -T blade[5]:sp
OK
