KB 754079 - How to do a remote power cycle on NVIDIA QM9700 Switch?
1. Purpose
To perform a remote reboot of NVIDIA QM9700 switch using the NVIDIA's Web GUI.
If the remote reboot does not resolve any issues occurred, a physical power-cycle should be carried out onsite as per OEM recommendations.
2. Scope
This MOP applies to:
NVIDIA QM9700 Switch
All connected nodes
3. Impact Analysis
During the reboot/power-cycle, respective link connectivity for nodes connected to the switch will be unavailable.
InfiniBand fabric is capable of auto-rerouting; however, application-level disruption cannot be completely avoided.
Running workloads may experience interruptions or slight performance degradation.
4. Pre-Checks
Confirm no high-priority or long-running jobs are active on affected nodes
Notify all stakeholders and users about the maintenance window
Ensure access to NVIDIA QM9700 Web GUI
Verify backup access to Out-Of-Band (OOB) management
Confirm onsite team availability if physical intervention becomes necessary
Ensure switch configuration backup is available
5. Tools & Requirements
For Remote Reboot
NVIDIA QM9700 Web GUI credentials
Stable management network connectivity
6. Method of Procedure
Step 1: Remote Reboot via NVIDIA QM9700 Web GUI
Procedure
Log in to the NVIDIA QM9700 Web GUI using management IP.
Navigate to: System -> Reboot.
Confirm switch system health and ensure no ongoing internal processes.
Click Reboot and confirm the action when prompted.
Wait for 5 to 10 minutes for the switch to fully reboot.
Monitor switch status.
Verify that all fabric ports come back online.
Success Criteria
Switch is fully operational after reboot.
No errors in logs.
