Manually start a switchover from the command line

To start a switch from the command line, run the Switchover Control Panel executable with the following options:
SwitchoverCtrlU.exe /Immediate /Notifier

It starts, switches, and stops automatically.

Run SwitchoverCtrlU /? to view the all the options available for this tool.

Note:
• Only a master administrator can run the SwitchoverCtrlU.exe tool.
• Before you start a switchover from the command line, you should check the Switchover Control Panel for warning messages.
• When you use Control Panel to force the backup server to switch immediately with the /Immediate flag, the Remote Control User right is not checked. This right is also not checked if there is no primary server.
• No CIC user account is required to connect to only the backup machine.
