cancel hardware-group

Last Updated : Nov 01, 2012 |

Use cancel hardware-group to temporarily or permanently abort the execution of test hardware-group. Use resume hardware-group, to resume the same test, or start another test with test hardware-group. Press CANCEL to cancel a hardware group test executing in the foreground.

The status of a canceled test hardware-group is displayed as canceled on the status hardware-group screen.

When a hardware group test is executing in the foreground with the continuously option and CANCEL is pressed or cancel hardware-group is entered, the hardware group test is canceled, and for security reasons the MT running the hardware group test is logged off. Use resume hardware-group to restart the canceled hardware-group test after logging back on.

Syntax

cancel hardware-group

Scheduled and Periodic Maintenance

When test hardware-group is entered, all activity related to scheduled background maintenance, periodic background maintenance, and data audits is suspended for the duration of the execution of test hardware-group. All activity related to scheduled background maintenance, periodic background maintenance, and data audits will restart if test hardware-group is canceled.

All-Ports Option

When test hardware-group all-ports is canceled, the internally generated port translations for ports that are otherwise untranslated are removed. If resume hardware-group is then entered, only customer-administered ports will subsequently be tested. Resume does not reinstate the port translations that were removed by the cancel.

If test hardware-group running in the foreground is successfully canceled with cancel hardware-group from another terminal, the following message is displayed on the terminal where the hardware group command was executing: Hardware-group command aborted with cancel; command entered from another terminal.
