DESCRIPTION
Select Active to have this switch become the cluster manager switch. A cluster
can only have one manager. Other (directly connected) switches that are set to
be cluster managers will not be visible in the Clustering Candidates list. If a
switch that was previously a cluster member is later set to become a cluster
manager, then its Status is displayed as Error in the Cluster Management
Status screen and a warning icon (
