Activates a standby master host and makes it the active master for the
HAWQ system.
+**Note:** If HAWQ was installed using Ambari, do not use `hawq activate`
to activate a standby master host. The system catalogs could become
unsynchronized if you mix Ambari and command line functions. For Ambari-managed
HAWQ clusters, always use the Ambari administration interface to activate a
standby master.
