Wait, there's an option to just let the HA state transition happen transparently? That's like finding a unicorn in the middle of the Sahara. I'm going with C, the tried and true method.

I'm not sure, but I think option D could also work by reconfiguring the primary device.

Ah, the joys of HA troubleshooting! I'd bet my last FortiToken that C is the way to go. Manually promoting a secondary device is the way to keep the system up and running.

Option B sounds like a good way to get the HA mode back to a working state, but I'm not sure if rebooting the failed device is the correct solution. I'd go with C.

I agree, manually promoting one of the working secondary devices to the primary role and rebooting the old primary device seems like the best way to return the FortiManager HA manual mode to a working state.
