We have a P4000 SAN with 2 nodes; we don't have a Failover Manager.

Right-clicking a node in the management console does not offer a failover option, the best one seems to be "power off or reboot". This should probably work (will it?)

Is there, however, a better way to do a manual failover other than shutting down the active node?

I googled around, and found something that indicates powering down a node might be a bad idea:

In a two node P4000 cluster, you will need a FOM for automatic failover. If no FOM is present then if one node loses connectivity, the other node also goes offline as well and you will have to manually failover the LUN’s.
