Howto FWSM Hardware reset

Sometimes ... and unfortunatly ... the FWSM is not that stable. It has happened that, in a FWSM failover pair, when one fails, the other doesn't take over and simply hangs. In order to reset the blade run this command in the supervisor:

hw-mod module 9 reset (for module 9)
hw-mod module 9 shutdown (power off to the module. Keep in mind that if the 6500/7600 is reloaded, the FWSM blade will power on anyway, even if previously this command has been called)
