Primary FortiGate 7000E recovery

If a primary FortiGate 7000E recovers after a device, FIM, link, or FPM failure, it will operate as the secondary FortiGate 7000E. If override is enabled; however, when the FortiGate 7000E recovers, the cluster will renegotiate and the FortiGate 7000E with the highest device priority becomes the primary FortiGate 7000E.
