Troubleshooting Supervisor Modules
Note
If only one supervisor module is installed, ensure that automatic synchronization is off before servicing
the other module. This prevents the switch from attempting to fail over to an unavailable module.
This section provides a workaround for a failed supervisor under certain conditions. An example
situation is used to describe the problem and the workaround.
