initiate failover
Use this command to force the backup unit to take over as the management unit and perform
a “warm restart” of the stack. On a warm restart, the backup unit becomes the management
unit without clearing its hardware tables (on a cold restart, hardware tables are cleared).
Applications apply checkpointed data from the former management unit. 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.
Note: Use this command instead of movemanagement if you expect nsf
during management unit changes.
Time Since Last Copy When the running configuration was last copied from the management unit to the
backup unit.
Time Until Next Copy The number of seconds until the running configuration will be copied to the backup
unit. This line only appears when the running configuration on the backup unit is
Stale.

Status Parameters) Whether a unit supports NSF.
