## Symptoms

- * Secondary CMA creation fails with this message: "*No Active Domain Management Server for this Domain*"

* The current Primary MDS and all CMAs hosted on it were originally promoted from Secondary.

* Running this CLI command (adjusted for the customer's CMA and Domain names):

  `# psql_client cpm postgres -c "select * from dleobjectderef_data where name='`_._._' and dlesession=0 and deleted='f'; " | grep primary_management

  gives this output: `":primary_management (false)"`

## Cause

During the MDS promotion from Secondary to Primary, the CMA mirror objects were not switched to Primary.
