User Guidelines The hostname may include any printable characters except a double quote or question mark. Enclose the string in double quotes to include spaces within the name. The surrounding quotes are not used as part of the name. The CLI does not filter illegal characters and may truncate entries at the first illegal character or reject the entry entirely. Example The following example specifies the switch host name. console(config)# hostname Dell initiate failover To manually force a failover from the management unit to the backup unit in a stack, use the initiate failover command in Stack Configuration mode. Syntax This command has no user guidelines. Default Configuration There is no default configuration. Command Mode Stack Configuration mode 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. The movemanagement command also transfers control from the current management unit; however, the hardware is cleared and all units reinitialize. System Management Commands 1541
