    I don't believe you can do that directly from BIG-IQ, but you could SSH from your BIG-IQ to an active device in an HA pair.

     

    Once you connect using SSH to the active device, from in bash issue the following command:

     

    tmsh run /sys failover standby

     

    HERE is a lot of good info on failover.

     

    Hope that helps! If it does please up-vote and select this answer, it'd be greatly appreciated!
