NAME
     promote - changes the role of a PC Netlink domain controller

SYNOPSIS
     promote [-I instance] [-d]

DESCRIPTION
     The promote command changes the role of a PC Netlink  domain
     controller  to  be  either  a primary domain controller or a
     backup domain controller.

OPTIONS
  -d
     When the current role of the server is primary  domain  con-
     troller,  demotes  the  server  to  be  a backup domain con-
     troller.

  -I instance
     Specifies the instance to be promoted or demoted.   If  this
     argument  is  not  specified  the  default  instance will be
     choosen.

NOTES
     The server must be running to use this command.

     Promoting a  backup  domain  controller  will  automatically
     demote  the  active primary domain controller of the domain.
     While doing so the client connections of the  on-going  ses-
     sions  on  the  backup  domain controller as well as primary
     domain controller will be closed.

     Member servers cannot be promoted or demoted.
