When will a slave blade be restarted?

B.
whenever another slave blade is restarted

C.
whenever the supervisor blade is restarted

D.
whenever the master blade is restarted

Explanation:
A slave blade will be restarted whenever the master blade is restarted. A cluster of up to four Cisco
TelePresence Server MSE 8710 blades will appear as if the blades are a single TelePresence Server. All
blades in a cluster must be of the same type and run the same version of software. However, several different
clusters can exist within an MSE chassis, such as the MSE 8000 chassis. The MSE 8000 supervisor blade
must be running software version 2.1 or higher in order to support clustering.
One blade takes the role of the master blade, and the remaining blades take the role of slave blades. The
master blade controls all cluster functions. Slave blades can manage only a few settings, such as those related
to network configuration, logging, and upgrading. In addition, the master blade inherits all of the screen licenses
allocated to the slave blades. If the supervisor blade restarts or is removed, the cluster continues to function.
