You need to modify the CallManager Group of those phone's Device Pool (move the backup/secondary server on top of
the primary server) and reset them. Remember that a CallManager Group is a prioritized list of Callmanager that phones use to register.
Now, you don't need to force them before shutting down the primary server, those phones will register immediately to the backup server when you shutdown its primary.
