GSP reset on an L2000 without power cycling ?

[Damian O'Hara_1]

Hi,
Is it possible to remove the previously set usename/password/LAN config on a GSP card on a L2000 without taking it down?
Would be handy :-)

Taking the server down? or jus the GSP?
You can change those settings without effecting the server OS.

The GSP is independant of the OS.

Hi Damian,

if you run the command

# stty +resetGSP < /dev/GSPdiag1

from the console, a message like

"press 'p' within 5 sec to reset all user accounts" will come up.

Best regards,

Thanks Robert-Jan,

That worked a treat. And a better reponse time than the Open Source forums (and they're pretty good).

Much Appreciated.

Hi Damian,

Apart from soft reset of GSP you can also do a hard reset of GSP card without recycling power to machine. This is required only if the output from soft reset command throws a output 'GSP Reset Failed'. This is done by pushing a push button that in physically visible on the GSP card after physically opening the cabinet.

HTH,
