Considerations
FIRMWARE filename
indicates the name of the firmware 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.
CONFIG filename
indicates the name of the configuration 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.
POSITION position
specifies the position (1, 2 or 3) of the cluster switch on the external fabric. The 
position determines which ServerNet node numbers the cluster switch supports:
TOPOLOGY topology
specifies the topology of the cluster. If the cluster contains 16 or fewer nodes and 
uses either the split-star topology or the star topology, specify 16NODES. If the 
cluster contains 24 or fewer nodes and uses the tri-star topology, specify 
24NODES.
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.
•
Wild cards are not supported for the LOAD SWITCH command.
•
Only one attribute specification (FIRMWARE or CONFIG) can be specified in a 
single LOAD SWITCH command.
•
If CONFIG is specified, POSITION and TOPOLOGY must also be specified.
•
A soft reset of the cluster switch must be performed after a firmware download. For 
details see the NonStop S-Series Service Provider Supplement.
•
A hard reset of the cluster switch must be performed after a configuration 
download. For details see the NonStop S-Series Service Provider Supplement.
