Assign the Primary Role to the NSX Manager Instance for the Management Cluster for VMware Cloud Foundation in Region A

If a site failure occurs after you fail over the SDDC management applications to Region B, you must prepare the network layer in Region A for a failback of the management applications. First change the role of the NSX Manager instance in Region A to primary so that you can recreate the virtual network infrastructure in Region A by using NSX Manager.
