PROBLEM DESCRIPTION:     
 
After following the instructions to configure a control board using SSP
Version 3.1, and the customer brings up the domains before he takes out
the old control board (cb0) the domains will crash.  Hostview will show
that the new (cb1) is in control, however, the domains still have the
old control board (cb0) registered as the master.

Because the system boards are not powered off as noted in the
instructions for the SSP 3.0 control board switch over procedure, the
domains are not switching over thier cb-master values even though the
SSP has.

         ---
        |   |   REACTIVE (As Required)
         ---
