Primary FortiGate-7000 selection with override enabled

With override enabled, FortiGate-7000 FGCP selects the primary FortiGate-7000 based on standard FGCP primary unit selection with override enabled and also accounting for the number of failed FPMs. The selection sequence is:

• At least one active FPM
• Failed monitored interfaces
• Failed FPMs
• Device priority
• Age
• Serial number

Enabling override and adjusting the device priority means that the FortiGate-7000 with the highest device priority becomes the primary FortiGate-7000 as long as monitored interfaces are not configured and no monitored interface has become disconnected and both FortiGate-7000s have the same number of failed FPMs. Enabling override causes the cluster to negotiate more often to make sure that the FortiGate-7000 with the highest device priority always becomes the primary FortiGate-7000.
