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.
The initiate failover command checks for stack port errors and NSF
synchronization prior to initiating failover. If stack port errors are found, or if
the NSF status is not synchronized, a message is displayed and the user is
prompted to continue or abort the operation (see example, below).
