You can promote the secondary to be the active management station so it will act like the primary management station but there isn't a way to make the secondary management station into a primary.

That is one of the drawbacks to Management HA.

It seems like the secondary management station is just there so you are able to push a policy if the primary management station ever fails.

In my opinion, the management HA feature/license isn't worth anything anymore. If you do proper backups of the CheckPoint information you can rebuild a management station in no time.

Thank You for the reply
Yes it is very bad that there is no way to promote one secondary to the primary.
Unfortunatly the process to setup one new primary on new ip
is a very cumbersome process it is not like only recreate the box from backups
there are too many things associated with the IP address.
I think one way can be is to assign one additional IP address to the Interface
and leave the Original IP at it is.

You can manually promoting a Secondary SmartCenter Server to become the Primary.

There is an SK article ('sk24294') about it: "Recovering a Primary SmartCenter Server".

Does anyone have a copy of this .pdf file. The link doesn't seem to be valid and I'm pretty interested in what this doc says.

At the moment the link of the desired pdf within sk24294 is broken, but this one works for me: <https://downloads.checkpoint.com/dc/download.htm?ID=5916>.
