All switches are running 12.2(25)SEE2 version. and switch is live from 1 year, 36 weeks. I cannot able to reboot the switch as production servers are online. Please let suggest if you got any ways to resolve this problem without reboot.

Can you upgrade the IOS?

Alessio

Alessio, Reboot and upgrade is my last option left. that bugs doesnt seems best match to this condition. any other ideas are really appriciated.

Did you try to better tighten the screws?

In this doc, half way you find some case quite similar to yours

Hmmmm ...

Don't want to be the bearer of bad news here ...

I believe you have TWO (2) issues here.

Firstly, there's a strong possibility that you are running a buggy IOS.  I mean, 12.2(25)SEE???  I wouldn't touch that version with a ten-mile-pole.

Secondly, there's a strong possibility that your switches have a hardware defect that affects the stacking module.  Please see attachment.
