Abstract
A method for managing a switchover between an active supervisor and a standby supervisor executing on a network device includes initializing a switchover logger agent executing on the supervisor responsive to the switchover, wherein after the switchover, the supervisor is in an active state, wherein prior to the switchover, the supervisor is in a standby state and the second supervisor is in the active state, and wherein the supervisor assumes management of controlled devices on the network device when in the active state, based on the initialization, obtaining a local switchover record file corresponding to the switchover by the supervisor, updating, by the supervisor, a switchover history file based on the local switchover record file, and updating, by the supervisor, a network device state database instance based on the local switchover record file.
