system --reboot

Syntax

system --reboot

Result

Please enter administrator password:
Broadcast message from root (pts/0) (Wed Jun 20 11:00:58 2012): 
The system is going down for reboot NOW!

system --shutdown

The system --shutdown command powers off the appliance on which the DR Series system software is installed. Once the appliance is in a powered off state, you may only be able to power on the appliance in two ways: at its physical location, or by using an iDRAC connection on the network.

Syntax

system --shutdown

Result

Please enter administrator password:
Broadcast message from root (pts/0) (Wed Oct 20 11:00:58 2012): 
The system is being shutdown NOW!

system --upgrade

Syntax

system --upgrade
Note: To obtain the latest DR Series system upgrade image, navigate to the Dell Support website (dell.com/support), enter your service tag or select your product, and download the latest DR Series system software upgrade image file to the local system using WinSCP.
Note: Prior to performing a DR Series system CLI-based upgrade, make sure to download the DR Series system upgrade image. To initiate a DR Series system software upgrade for Windows users using the DR Series system CLI, the system software upgrade image file (in tar.gz format) is validated by the DR Series system, renamed to DRSeries_payload.tar.gz, and transferred to a directory/store location known to the DR Series system.

When you use the DR Series system CLI system --upgrade command, the DR Series system looks in this known directory/store location for the DRSeries_payload.tar.gz file, and starts the system software upgrade process.

Note: If the SSH session is lost for any reason during the upgrade process, this loss terminates the SSH session and also terminates the upgrade process that was running. If this SSH session loss occurs during an upgrade process and results in a terminated session, you should reboot the DR Series system and retry the system software upgrade process.

system --license [--validate] [--add]

There are two ways to obtain the expansion shelf enclosure license (license.xml):

Once you have located the license file for expansion shelf enclosure use WinSCP to copy it to the /store/license, which is a location known by the DR Series system software.

Note: Each added expansion shelf enclosure must be equal to or greater than each DR Series system internal drive slot capacity (0–11). Because 1 TB drives are the smallest ones supported by the expansion shelf enclosure you add, the 600 Gigabyte (GB) DR Series systems need to use 1 TB or larger sized drives in any expansion shelf enclosure added to the base system.

Syntax

system --license --validate

Result

License file is valid and can be installed. 

To add a validated license for a data storage expansion shelf (enclosure), use the following DR Series system CLI command:

system --license --add
License file has successfully installed.
Note: The recommended process for adding an expansion shelf enclosure involves the following tasks:
