12.3(2)T This feature was introduced.
12.2(18)S This feature was integrated into Cisco IOS Release

12.2(18)S.

Did anyone test this yet?

It's not available on all platforms, at least not on my test one. When
doing "reload warm" it does a cold one and takes "warm" as the reason
for reload.

Michel,

Thanks for pointing that out. I'll have it removed
from the CLI for any platforms where it's not supported.

The currently supported platforms are:

3660 and 3745 in 12.3(2)T
7200 in 12.2(18)S

I'll also check on future platform implementations and let
you know. While at first the feature seems platform
independent it turns out there are some platform dependencies.

Thanks,
Rodney
