LOAD SWITCH Command Examples
LOAD SWITCH Command Examples
The following example downloads the firmware file $SYSTEM.SYS65.M6770 to the
nearest X-fabric cluster switch:
> LOAD SWITCH $ZZSMN, NEAREST X, FIRMWARE $SYSTEM.SYS65.M6770
This command should only be issued by Compaq trained support personnel.
Executing this command will load a new firmware image on the switch.
Before executing this command, be sure to read the instructions for
switch firmware download in the ServerNet Cluster Manual.
Do you wish to continue with this command? (Y / [N]) Y
The nearest ServerNet switch in the external ServerNet X fabric has received
firmware file \STAR3.$SYSTEM.SYS65.M6770 which will be put into use after the
next SOFT RESET command. Note that the LOAD SWITCH command will only load
the firmware file into one bank of the switch. If this is the first LOAD
SWITCH command, it will be necessary to execute the command again before
performing the SOFT RESET command. To confirm that a firmware file has
loaded into both banks of a switch, use the STATUS SWITCH command and make
sure that the "Firmware Images" field shows "Images The Same". If the field
shows "Images Different", you will need to execute the same LOAD SWITCH
command once again before performing the SOFT RESET command.
The following example downloads the configuration file $SYSTEM.SYS65.M6770CL to
the nearest cluster switch on the Y-fabric serving ServerNet node numbers 9 through
16 in a cluster using the tri-star topology:
> LOAD SWITCH $ZZSMN, NEAREST Y, CONFIG $SYSTEM.SYS65.M6770CL, &
POSITION 2, TOPOLOGY 24NODES
This command should only be issued by Compaq trained support personnel.
Executing this command will load a new configuration image on the
switch. Before executing this command, be sure to read the instructions
for switch configuration download in the ServerNet Cluster Manual.
Do you wish to continue with this command? (Y / [N]) Y
The nearest ServerNet switch in the external ServerNet X fabric has received
configuration file \STAR3.$SYSTEM.SYS65.M6770CL and will be named ServerNet
switch 2 (Y fabric) after the next HARD RESET command. Note that the LOAD
SWITCH command will only load the configuration file into one bank of the
switch. If this is the first LOAD SWITCH command, it will be necessary to
execute the command again after performing the HARD RESET command. To confirm
that a configuration file has loaded into both banks of a switch, use the
STATUS SWITCH command and make sure that the "Config Images" field shows
"Images The Same". If the field shows "Images Different", you will need to
execute the same LOAD SWITCH command once again after performing the HARD
RESET command.
