NimbostratusManual Failover with tmm restart
Hi!
I just would like to ask if there is a way to perform a manual failover with tmm restart simultaneously? Similar to what is in the failsafe option?
Thank you.

doesn't it failover automatically when restarting tmm (e.g. bigstart restart)?
Ephraine_TabilaHey Nitass! How are you? Its been awhile huh?
Yes it does! Thanks! But if this is done, the failover will still be seamless, right?
- nitassi am doing good. how have you been? i do not think it is seamless. i mean service (user) will be interrupted.

im good, still handling LTM :)
but the service interruption is similar to the instance where we will just click "Force to Standby" button on the active unit?
- nitassi am not sure whether it is the same indeed. anyway, i would prefer failover manually (force standby) and then restart tmm on new standby unit.

Hi Nitass, just retested the tmm restart command. It seems the failover will just be temporary. After the tmm restart process has finished, the box will retain its position as active.

Hi Ephraine, what software version are you on? Are there any configurations regarding unit preference in HA settings? Is there anything with the second unit preventing it from going active? Btw, in case of both units in standby the one with the higher management IP will win. Thanks, Stephan
