The following algorithm is used to select a unit as the master:
–
If only one master-enabled unit is in the stack (1 or 2), it becomes the master.
–
If a unit configured as a forced master, it becomes the master.
If a forced master unit is removed from a stack and placed in a different stack with another
forced master unit, both are considered to be forced, and the election criteria continue as
follows:
–
The unit with the longer up-time is elected master. Units are considered to have the same
up-time if they were powered up within ten minutes of each other.
–
If both forced master units have the same up-time, Unit 1 is elected.
