configuration information, and clears the event log. After the pending firmware is
activated, the configuration is recovered. This process may take a few minutes. To

Notes You can load and activate version 6.8.x firmware on an operating switch
without disrupting data traffic or having to re-initialize attached devices under
the following conditions:
The current firmware version permits the installation and
non-disruptive activation of 6.8 firmware. Refer to the 6.8 Firmware
Release Notes for previous compatible firmware versions.
No changes are being made to switches in the fabric including
installing firmware, powering up, powering down, disconnecting or
connecting ISLs, and switch configuration changes.
No port on the switch is in the diagnostic state.
No zoning changes are being made on the switch.
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, then change
states, will be reset. When the non-disruptive activation is complete,
Enterprise Fabric Suite 2007 sessions reconnect automatically. However,
CLI and SSH sessions must be restarted manually.
This command clears the event log and all counters.
