I have Switch 2 as the active. I want to remove Switch 2 and make 1 the active member but attempts to renumber I get a message as if the syntax priority is no recognized? (See below)
Switch/Stack Mac Address : 70df.2f07.3380 - Local Mac Address
Mac persistency wait time: Indefinite
H/W Current
Switch# Role Mac Address Priority Version State
------------------------------------------------------------
1 Member 0000.0000.0000 0 Provisioned
*2 Active 70df.2f07.3380 10 V02 Ready
------------------------------------------------------------
renumber is not recognized:
DC-MDF-SW3(config)#switch 2 renumber 1
^
% Invalid input detected at '^' marker.
An attempt to change switch 1 priority as a higher one I get a similar issue that the syntax priority is not recognized.
------------------------------------------------------------
DC-MDF-SW3(config)#switch 1 priority 1
^
% Invalid input detected at '^' marker.
DC-MDF-SW3(config)#switch 1 ?
provision Configure Switch provision / offline config
DC-MDF-SW3(config)#switch 1
Am I missing something before this to allow these commands to work? Thank you!

I thought I tried this in and out of config mode, I was able to execute the renumber command.
DC-MDF-SW3#switch 1 ?
priority Set the priority of the specified switch
renumber Renumber the specified switch number
stack Stack port enable or disable
DC-MDF-SW3#switch 2 renumber 1
WARNING: Changing the switch number may result in a configuration change for that switch. The interface configuration associated with the old switch number will remain as a provisioned configuration. Do you want to continue?[y/n]? [yes]:
DC-MDF-SW3#show switch
Switch/Stack Mac Address : 70df.2f07.3380 - Local Mac Address
Mac persistency wait time: Indefinite
H/W Current
Switch# Role Mac Address Priority Version State
------------------------------------------------------------
1 Member 0000.0000.0000 0 Provisioned
*2 Active 70df.2f07.3380 5 V02 Ready
However I have bun unable to change the switch priority from which I believe will make the renumbered 2 to 1 become the active and higher priority? Yet I keep getting the "No such resource"
DC-MDF-SW3#switch 1 priority 15
% No such resource

After a reload I was able to change the priority. I had previously renamed 2 to 1 and a reload was required prior to changing the priority.
