After(!) the partner is down, you do:

# omshell
> server <your server name>
> port 7912
> connect
obj: <null>
> new failover-state
obj: failover-state
> set name = "your cluster name"
obj: failover-state
name = "your cluster name"

obj: failover-state
name = "your cluster name"
[...]
local-state = 00:00:00:02
[...]
> set local-state = 4
[...]
> update

You will see the changing server state in the log file, something like this:

Jan 29 09:36:11 dhcp0 dhcpd: [ID 702911 local6.info] peer cluster:
disconnected
Jan 29 09:36:11 dhcp0 dhcpd: [ID 702911 local6.info] failover peer
cluster: I move from normal to communications-interrupted
Jan 29 09:37:23 dhcp0 dhcpd: [ID 702911 local6.info] failover peer
cluster: I move from communications-interrupted to partner-down

(Most of) the corresponding information can be found in 'man dhcpd'.
