Note
In a Cisco Optical Site Manager high availability deployment, a diagnostic report is available only on the controller that was active when the report was generated. The report is not replicated to the standby controller. After a manual or unexpected switchover, the download link for the report generated before the switchover is no longer available. Hence, start a new diagnostic collection on the new active controller, and download the newly generated diagnostic report.
