Sophos Central enable Management on auxiliary device

Question

Hello all, 
 is it possible to enable the Sophos Central Management on the auxiliary device in a HA via CLI? Due an HA problem I must rebuild the cluster and the 2nd node has not Central Management enabled. At the moment I don't want to make a fail over to the auxiliary device. 
 Regards, 
 Ben

Yes, I know. Now I have a working HA in Sophos Central again. Both devices are displayed as one HA array.

Hi Ben, 
 Thank you for reaching out to Sophos Community. 
 Upon checking, I've registered my FW via CLI (stand alone) 
 
 central-register --register -u Username -p Password -s Serial# on 5.Device Access 3. Advance Shell 
 
 However, the management is still not enabled and requires direct access to Sophos Firewall.

Hi, 
 after I clicked on "Sync aux device" and added a " Peer administration" IP the HA status is shown as "green" in Sophos Central.
