Restack switches with updated configuration

Ahh oke, you want unit 1's config to stay. That is fine.
You don't need to actually shutdown unit 1. Just shutdown unit 2 --> then connect stacking cables --> then power on unit 2 and leave the stack reassemble. Now, unit 1 will be the initial master and push the config to unit 2.
So yes, you can leave one unit (the intended initial master) running whilst doing this.
I actually want unit 2 to get overwritten by unit 1 which stayed up all the time, whereas unit 2 was updated after a shutdown.
I can't shutdown unit 1. When I'll reconnect them, will unit 2 's config be overwritten ? I have to shut it down first, connect, power on right ?
Thx !
