Re: Upgrade a Qlogic 5200 switch

I rechecked the documentation because I couldn't remember...  You're  
not going to be able to do a hotreset (NDCLA) if you're upgrading that  
far.

Firmware 7.4.0.06 introduces IPv6. Changes made to support IPv6  
require a switch reset for SANbox 5000 Series customers running  
firmware 6.8 and earlier. Therefore, a Non-Disruptive Code Load and  
Activation (NDCLA) is not available for these customers.
