Explanation

If the primary unit fails, the backup units stop receiving HA heartbeat packets from the primary unit. If one of the backup units fails, the primary unit stops receiving HA heartbeat packets from the backup unit. In either case, the cluster is considered down until it is reconfigured. Reconfigure the cluster by removing the failed unit from the cluster configuration. If the primary unit has failed, this means configuring one of the backup units to be the primary unit and adding peer IPs for all of the remaining backup units to the new primary unit configuration. If a backup unit has failed, reconfigure the cluster by removing the peer IP of the failed backup unit from the primary unit configuration. https://docs.fortinet.com/document/fortimanager/7.0.5/administration-guide/203784/if-the-primary- or-a-backup-unit-fails
