Hotreset Command

Resets the switch for the purpose of activating the pending firmware without disrupting traffic. This command terminates all management sessions, saves all configuration information, and clears the event log. After the pending firmware is activated, the configuration is recovered. This process takes less than 80 seconds. To save the event log to a file before resetting, refer to the “Set Log Command” on page B-48.

		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.
