nv action install platform firmware files

Notes

  • The prompt will be displayed only if there is unsaved configuration on the switch. Otherwise, the reboot will be performed as usual.

  • Using the halt flag will show the prompt unless force flag is passed.

  • Using the immediate flag will not trigger the firmware upgrade flow that part of normal reboot.

  • If the switch is in a fatal state, it will exit that state once it comes up.

  • `nv action reboot system` will still work as usual which is equivalent to `nv action reboot system mode cold`
