How to Manually Change Cluster Manager Redundancy State in Splunk

Hi everyone,

I am referring to the documentation on High Availability Clustering Configuration, and I came across the following statement:

"An eligible 'standby' cluster manager will not set its redundancy state to 'active' upon consecutive loss of heartbeat to the manager which is currently in active state. The administrator must manually change the cluster manager redundancy state to 'active' or 'standby'."

Could someone please guide me on how to manually change the cluster manager redundancy state to 'active' or 'standby' in Splunk? What are the exact steps or commands required to perform this operation?

Thank you in advance for your help!
