> # Promoting a Secondary Database to a Primary Role in a Configuration with One Primary Database (SRC CLI)

> Although all communities should have two databases with a primary role, if a community includes one database assigned a primary role and another database assigned a secondary role, promote the database assigned a secondary role to a primary role.

> To promote a Juniper Networks database from a secondary role to a primary role:

> 1. On the database that has a secondary role, set the role to primary.

>    For example, if the database on C2 has a secondary role:

>    `
>    user@C2# edit system ldap server community
>    [edit system ldap server community]
>    user@C2# set role primary
>    user@C2# commit
>    `

>    C2 already has C1 configured as primary neighbor.

> 2. On the existing database that has a primary role, remove the neighbor as secondary and add it as primary.

>    For example, to remove C2 as a secondary neighbor and add it as a primary neighbor for the database on C1:

>    `
>    user@C1# edit system ldap server community
>    [edit system ldap server community]
>    user@C1# set primary-neighbors C2
>    user@C1# commit
>    `
> 3. (Optional if you have two databases with a primary role in a community) Switch the role of the database that originally had a secondary role back to secondary:
>    `
>    [edit system ldap server community]
>    user@C2# set role secondary
>    user@C2# commit
>    `
