Considerations
CONFIG file, POSITION id, TOPOLOGY topo-id
specifies the configuration file, position, and topology to be configured for a 6770
switch in one of the star topologies.
CONFIG file
specifies the name of the configuration file to be downloaded, specified in the
standard file system external format. The file must be located on the local
system.
POSITION id
specifies the position (1, 2 or 3) of the cluster switch on the external fabric.
TOPOLOGY topo-id
specifies the topology of the cluster. If the cluster uses either the split-star
topology or the star topology, specify 16NODES. If the cluster uses the tri-star
topology, specify 24NODES.
FIRMWARE file
indicates the name of the firmware file to be downloaded, specified in the standard
file-system external format. The file must be located on the local system.
FPGA file
indicates the name of the FPGA file to be downloaded. The file name should be
specified in the standard file-system external format. The file must be located on
the local system. Valid only for 6780 switches.
Considerations
•
The LOAD command is a sensitive command and can be used only by a super-
group user (255, n) ID. The command requires confirmation by the user, so it must
be entered interactively.
•
For fault tolerance, a cluster switch contains two images of firmware, configuration,
or FPGA. The LOAD SWITCH command automatically loads two images to a 6780
switch. However, to load two images to a 6770 switch, you must repeat the LOAD
SWITCH command each time you download firmware or configuration.
•
Only one attribute specification (FIRMWARE, CONFIG, or FPGA) can be specified
in a single LOAD SWITCH command.
•
You must perform a soft reset of the cluster switch after a firmware download. For
details, see the NonStop S-Series Service Provider Supplement.
•
You must perform a hard reset of the 6770 switch after a configuration download.
•
In some cases, you must perform a hard reset of the 6780 switch after a
configuration download. Use the SCF STATUS SWITCH $ZZSMN command to
