Demote and promote storage zones controllers
In a high availability deployment the secondary servers are independent, fully functioning storage zones controllers. To maintain or replace a primary storage zones controller, demote it first and then promote a secondary controller. If the primary server goes offline, you can promote a secondary server to primary.
Caution:
Editing the registry incorrectly can cause serious problems that might require you to reinstall your operating system. Citrix cannot guarantee that problems resulting from the incorrect use of Registry Editor can be solved. Use Registry Editor at your own risk. Be sure to back up the registry before you edit it.
