Can we control Edge VM active selection?

Hi everyone,

I am wondering if we can control which edge VM assumes stand-by role and which edge VM assumes Active role in Active stand by case?

Much appreciated!!

This can be controlled by the premptive / non-preemptive failover mode on the gateway

Preemptive	If the preferred node fails and recovers, it will preempt its peer and become the active node. The peer will change its state to standby.
Non-preemptive	If the preferred node fails and recovers, it will check if its peer is the active node. If so, the preferred node will not preempt its peer and will be the standby node.
