<div>So the quick answer is no; once an HA node, always an HA node (as far as that CUC HA pair is concerned).</div>

</div>
<div id="AppleMailSignature">Also, taking and running VM snapshots is not a supported for in UCOS (because as you mention, the longer the snapshot runs, the bigger it gets which can lead to resource issues).</div>

<div id="AppleMailSignature">At this point your best option may be to take a recent / updated DRS and restore onto a new CUC HA pair. If you don't have / can't get a recent DRS you may have to deal with COBRAS. Either way, I would make sure you have a very
recent one of those, if you do not already.</div>

<div id="AppleMailSignature">What's the VM host issue that caused the primary to be shutdown in the first place? You mentioned trying to recover from a split brain; typically this issue comes about when both nodes are/were online at the same time; is this why
the primary was shutdown?</div>

<p>I have run into an issue where my publisher was shutdown because of an issue with the VM Host and I have been running on the subscribe for about two weeks. I took snapshots first, then tried to do the split brain recovery, but after running the 12 hours..
it wasn't done so rolled back to my snapshots. It seems the longer I wait to recover the longer the recovery will take. Is there a way to promote the subscriber to be my new publisher and then add new subscriber for redundancy? Thanks.</p>
