Remove a Provisioned Switch from a Switch Stack

To remove a switch from stack, the member number of the switch must be changed back to 1 and the provision info must be removed.  Otherwise, you might see an error “..Switch can not be un-provisioned when it is physically present..”

switch# show switch    (determine the member number of the switch)
switch# conf t
switch(config)# switch 2 renumber 1  (assume the switch is member 2)
switch(config)# exit
switch# write mem
switch# reload
switch# conf t
switch(config)#  no switch 2 provision
switch(config)# exit
switch# write mem
switch# reload
