What is the effect of enabling 'Stay Primary' on the primary device?

• A. The primary immediately fails over to the secondary.
• B. The primary remains primary unless manually changed.
• C. The primary resets configuration on failover.
• D. The primary becomes secondary after a reboot.

Answer: (B)

Stay Primary is about keeping the original primary in its role and not automatically switching back. When this is enabled on the primary, the system won’t auto-promote the other unit back to primary after a failover; the primary stays in its primary role unless you explicitly change it. This gives you manual control over failback, preventing undesired role flips during recovery. So, the primary remains primary unless manually changed. It doesn’t cause an immediate failover, it doesn’t reset configuration on failover, and it doesn’t automatically swap to secondary after a reboot.
