Reloading Switches Managing OmniSwitch 6450 Stacks

If there are only two switches in the stack, the switch that was reloaded (the former secondary) resumes
the secondary role when it comes back up.
Reloading the Secondary Management Module In a Stack of Two
In this stack of two OmniSwitch 6450 switches, the slot
1 switch is the primary management module. The slot 2
switch is the secondary.
The user reloads the stack’s secondary management
module by issuing the reload secondary command. Any
data flow on the secondary switch’s Ethernet is inter-
rupted.
As the secondary switch reboots, the primary manage-
ment module continues to operate without interruption.
Meanwhile the stack has no interim secondary manage-
ment module as the switch reboots.
