Manual command to failback a keepalived cluster

I'm running a test keepalived cluster with two nodes, using the nopreempt option. This allows me to prevent automatic failback to the Primary node after a crash. That configuration is working fine.

Therefore, I'm looking for an elegant way to trigger a manual failback once I ensured that the Primary node is healthy.

I already have found two solutions, but I don't consider them as elegant :

I was hoping to find a way to "move" the cluster ressources manually without having to stop the keepalived service.

I believe this option is good for tests, but not for production.

Do you know a better way to trigger a failover on a keepalived cluster ?

Thanks !

How about increasing it's priority to a level you're certain it's the highest of the cluster. Followed by a service keepalived reload?
