Notes
You can load and activate firmware on an operating switch without disrupting data traffic
or having to re-initialize attached devices under the following conditions:
■ No changes are being made to switches in the fabric including powering up, powering
down, and switch configuration changes.
■ No port in the fabric is in the diagnostic state.
■ No zoning changes are being made in the fabric.
■ No changes are being made to attached devices including powering up, powering
down, disconnecting, connecting, and HBA configuration changes.
Ports that are stable when the non-disruptive activation begins and then change states, are
reset. When the non-disruptive activation is complete, Switch Manager sessions reconnect
automatically. However, Telnet sessions must be restarted manually. This command clears
the event log and all counters.

CLEANUP
Removes all firmware image files from the switch. All firmware image files are
removed automatically each time the switch is reset.
FETCH [ACCOUNT_NAME] [IP_ADDRESS] [FILE_SOURCE] [FILE_DESTINATION]
Retrieves image file given by [file_source] and stores it on the switch with the file
name given by [file_destination]. The image file is retrieved from the FTP server with
the IP address given by [ip_address] and an account name given by [account_name]. If
an account name needs a password to access the FTP server, the system prompts you
for it.
INSTALL
Downloads firmware from a remote host to the switch, unpacks the firmware, and then
activates the firmware. The command prompts you for IP address of the remote host,
an account name and password, and path name for the firmware image file.
LIST
Displays the list of image files that reside on the switch.
UNPACK [FILE]
Installs the firmware file given by [file]. After unpacking the file, a message is
displayed confirming successful unpacking. The switch must be reset for the new
firmware to take effect.
