SBC HA 8.1 manual failover

[lopes1211]

I'm going through the docs on patching SBC 8.1 HA. It says to patch the secondary via CLI, then swap the primary/secondary, then patch the new secondary. Nothing in the docs seems to discuss how to manually swap the primary/secondary. I know I can reboot the primary which will force the secondary to become the new primary but I feel like there should be a more direct way of doing that. Any ideas, or is the reboot the preferred/only method? Thanks!

Yeah, I've never exactly trusted it myself, but restart application or reboot from the EMS makes the two interchange gracefully. I've run pcaps on both and seen the RTP move over. Lab it out to be sure, but that's what I'd do.
