Restore
the
Primary
Panorama

State
By
default,
the
preemptive
capability
on
Panorama
allows
the
primary
Panorama
to
resume
functioning
as
the
active
peer
as
soon
as
it
becomes
available.
However,
if
preemption
is
disabled,
the
only
way
to
force
the
primary
Panorama
to
become
active
after
recovering
from
a
failure,
a
non
‐
functional,
or
a
suspended
state,
is
by
suspending
the
secondary
Panorama
peer.
Before
the
active
‐
secondary
Panorama
goes
into
a
suspended
state,
it
transfers
the
candidate
configuration
to
the
passive
device
so
that
all
your
uncommitted
configuration
changes
are
saved
and
can
be
accessed
on
the
other
peer.
