 ## Behavior during promotion of a node from standby to primary
 
-The VIP should be initially assigned to the primary node. When EFM detects failure of the primary node, it will release the VIP and then assign it to a standby node as that node is promoted to be the new primary. 
+The VIP should be initially assigned to the primary node. When EFM detects failure of the primary node's database, it will release the VIP and then assign it to a standby node as that node is promoted to be the new primary. 
 
-EFM verifies (via the command configured via the [`ping.server.command`](01_cluster_properties.mdx#ping_server_command) cluster property) that the VIP is not currently in use during promotion of a standby, and will skip assigning it to the new primary node if it is already assigned. This behavior can be disabled via the [`check.vip.before.promotion`](01_cluster_properties.mdx#check_vip_before_promotion) cluster property.

 !!!tip "Meaning of the ping command exit code"
    Failover Manager uses the exit code of the ping command to determine whether an address is reachable. A zero exit code indicates the address is reachable (in this context, this means the VIP is assigned). A non-zero exit code indicates the address isn't reachable (in this context, this means the VIP is unassigned).
