CirrusIs there a way to change which one of my F5s is the 'Active' server in my HA cluster?
Currently I have F5-A and F5-B. I want F5-A to be the active F5 in my HA cluster, however it is currently the standby.
What I have:
F5-B: Active
F5-A: Standby
What I want:
F5-A: Active
F5-B: Standby
How can I achieve this without taking them out of the HA cluster? Or will I have to take them out of the cluster and then put them back in?
Yann_DesmarestHello,
I recommend that you also check your traffic group and device group configuration to make sure that the preference is correctly set and that there is no auto-fallback option activated

On the currently active device, go to Device Management -> Devices -> Select the active (self) node.
At the bottom of the page that opens, will be a button "Force to Standby".
Be aware though, this will drop all current connections during the failover, and clients will need to re-establish with the new active node.
