System Management Commands 1707
User Guidelines
This command forces a warm restart of the stack. The backup unit takes over
as the new management unit without clearing the hardware state on any of
the stack members. The original management unit reboots. If the system is
not ready for a warm restart, for example because no backup unit has been
elected or one or more members of the stack do not support nonstop
forwarding, the command fails with a warning message. Use the standby
command to select a specific unit to act as the backup unit.
Example
console(config-stack)#initiate failover ?
<cr> Press enter to execute the command.
console(config-stack)#initiate failover
Management unit will be reloaded.
Are you sure you want to failover to the backup unit? (y/n) y
