Hi Ibrahim,

Let me see if I understood your issues:

1. You need to transfer the configuration from acs-2 to acs-1

-For this you need to make sure that both servers are running exactly the same version even the patch number, then verify that both units have different license files. After this you can go to acs-1 and under System Administration/Operations/Local Operations/Deployment Operations you can register acs-1 to acs-2, the 3 fields that you see there must be filled out with the acs-2 IP, GUI username/password. This process will register the acs-1 as a secondary for acs2 and all the configuration from acs-2 will be transferred to acs-1.

2. You want to make acs-1 the primary and acs-2 the secondary

-This is very simple and can be done from the acs-1 GUI, for this go to System Administration/Operations/Local Operations/Deployment Operations and now you will see an option called "Promote to primary", use this options to make acs-1 the primary ACS and acs-2 will become the secondary.

Please make sure that you have a fresh and save backup of your secondary ACS server for security reasons.

Rate if it helps XD.
