You can load and activate version 4.0.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 is a 2.0, 3.0, or a 4.0.x version that precedes 
the upgrade version.

„

No changes are being made to switches in the fabric including powering up, 
powering down, disconnecting or connecting ISLs, 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, then change 
states, will be reset. When the non-disruptive activation is complete, SANsurfer 
Switch Manager sessions reconnect automatically. However, Telnet sessions 
must be restarted manually. This command clears the event log and all counters.
