Disconnecting a cluster unit from a cluster
You can go to System > Config > HA and select a Disconnect from cluster icon to
disconnect a cluster unit from a functioning cluster without disrupting the operation
of the cluster. You can disconnect a cluster unit if you need to use the
disconnected FortiGate unit for another purpose, such as to act as a standalone
firewall.

Peer View and optionally change the subordinate unit host name.
Priority View and optionally change the subordinate unit device priority.
The device priority is not synchronized among cluster members. In a
functioning cluster you can change device priority to change the priority of any
unit in the cluster. The next time the cluster negotiates, the cluster unit with the
highest device priority becomes the primary unit.
The device priority range is 0 to 255. The default device priority is 128.
Serial Number Displays the serial number of the cluster unit to be disconnected from the
cluster.
Interface Select the interface that you want to configure. You also specify the IP
address and netmask for this interface. When the FortiGate unit is
disconnected, all management access options are enabled for this
interface.
IP/Netmask Specify an IP address and netmask for the interface. You can use this IP
address to connect to this interface to configure the disconnected
FortiGate unit.
