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.

To demote a primary storage zones controller:
1. Open C:\ProgramData\ShareFile\StorageCenter\configs\storage-center.settings.json
2. Set storage-center:isPrimaryConfigServer to false.
3. Set storage-center:PrimaryConfigServiceUrl to the URL of the server that will be the new primary storage zones controller, using the form https://IPaddress or https://hostname/ConfigService/.
4. Restart the IIS server of all zone members.
To promote a secondary storage zones controller:
1. Locate the Registry key: C:\ProgramData\ShareFile\StorageCenter\configs\storage-center.settings.json
2. Set storage-center:isPrimaryConfigServer to true.
3. Set storage-center:isPrimaryConfigServer to http://localhost/ConfigService/.
4. Restart the IIS server of all zone members.
Modify all additional secondary storage zones controllers:
1. Open C:\ProgramData\ShareFile\StorageCenter\configs\storage-center.settings.json
2. Set storage-center:PrimaryConfigServiceUrl to the URL of the server that will be the new primary storage zones controller using the form https://IPaddress/ or https://hostname/ConfigService/.
3. Restart the IIS server of all zone members.
