 1. Update the DNS record to point to the IP address of the replica. Traffic is directed to the replica after the TTL period elapses. If you are using a load balancer, ensure it is configured to send traffic to the replica.
 1. Notify users that they can resume normal operations.
 1. If desired, set up replication from the new primary to existing appliances and the previous primary. For more information, see [AUTOTITLE](/admin/enterprise-management/configuring-high-availability/about-high-availability-configuration#utilities-for-replication-management).
+   > [!NOTE]
+   > If there were multiple replicas before failover, the replicas that were not promoted during failover will remain part of the high availability group associated with the previous primary. Before re-establishing replication from the new primary, you must remove these replicas from the high availability configuration of the old primary. For more information, see [AUTOTITLE](/admin/monitoring-and-managing-your-instance/configuring-high-availability/removing-a-high-availability-replica#removing-replication-permanently).
 1. Appliances you do not intend to setup replication to that were part of the high availability configuration prior the failover, need to be removed from the high availability configuration by UUID.
     * On the former appliances, get their UUID via `cat /data/user/common/uuid`.
