Hi,

if you can't stop your nodes because others mandatory applications are 
running you can try to use application:load/2 on all your nodes. The 
second param is the distribution parameter which overload kernel value.
To be able to load an application, it have to be stopped.
Don't forget to update the config file for the next node restart.

I never tried to do that but the documentation seems to say that it's 
possible
