Changing subordinate unit host name and device priority
To change the host name and device priority of a subordinate unit in an operating
cluster, go to System > Config > HA to display the cluster members list. Select
Edit for any slave (subordinate) unit in the cluster members list.
To change the host name and device priority of a subordinate unit in an operating
cluster with virtual domains enabled, log in as the global admin administrator and
go to System > Config > HA to display the cluster members list. Select Edit for
any slave (subordinate) unit in the cluster members list.
You can change the host name (Peer) and device priority (Priority) of this
subordinate unit. These changes only affect the configuration of the subordinate
unit.

The device priority is not synchronized among cluster members. In
a functioning cluster you can change device priority to change the
priority of any unit in the cluster. The next time the cluster
negotiates, the cluster unit with the highest device priority
becomes the primary unit.
The device priority range is 0 to 255. The default device priority is
128.
Disconnecting a cluster unit from a cluster
You can go to System > Config > HA and select a Disconnect from cluster icon to
disconnect a cluster unit from a functioning cluster without disrupting the operation
of the cluster. You can disconnect a cluster unit if you need to use the
disconnected FortiGate unit for another purpose, such as to act as a standalone
firewall.
