+### High Availability Management
+
+On top of the [`API`](/guide/ops/high-availability/index.md), High 
Availability can be explicitly controlled from the Brooklyn UI, 
+which allows for the server to change its priority and request to promote 
itself to master. 
+
+This can be achieved via the `HA Status` table in the `About` page, which 
displays information about
+nodes in the current management plane. The control menu is opened by selecting 
the `Manage` option on the current server entry in the table. 
+The following menu allows to change the priority value, as well as the status 
of the node.
+
+- If a node is `MASTER`, it can demote itself by changing to another state. In 
such case, a new master will be selected from available standby servers, 
+basing on their priority.
+- If a node is `STANDBY`, or `HOT_STANDBY`, it can promote itself by changing 
to `MASTER` state. 
+It is recommended for this server to have the highest priority amongst all 
available servers.
+  
+Additionally, terminated servers can be removed from the persistence with 
`Remove` option (visible upon hover over the terminated node in the `HA Status` 
Table). 
+All terminated servers can be removed at once with `Remove terminated nodes` 
option. These operations are only available to the master node.
+
 ### Client Configuration
 It is the responsibility of the client to connect to the master Brooklyn 
server. This can be accomplished in a variety of ways:

the respective options in the `About` page.
