Chapter 9 High Availability for FortiOS 5.0 : An introduction to the FGCP : HA override : Override and disconnecting a unit from a cluster
  
Override and disconnecting a unit from a cluster
A similar scenario to that described in “Configuration changes can be lost if override is enabled” may occur when override is enabled and you use the Disconnect from Cluster option from the web‑based manager or the execute ha disconnect command from the CLI to disconnect a cluster unit from a cluster.
Configuration changes made to the cluster can be lost when you reconnect the disconnected unit to the cluster. You should make sure that the device priority of the disconnected unit is lower than the device priority of the current primary unit. Otherwise, when the disconnected unit joins the cluster, if override is enabled, the cluster renegotiates and the disconnected unit may become the primary unit. If this happens, the configuration of the disconnected unit is synchronized to all other cluster units and any configuration changes made between when the unit was disconnected and reconnected are lost.
