If you want a slave server to become a master server, clear Enable as master server on the original master server and click OK. In the navigation pane, right-click the slave server which you want to become master server and select Properties. Then select Enable as master server. Next click Add to add slave servers to the new master server.

Update status on slaves

In the Master Settings Summary and Slave Settings Summary table area, you can verify/update added slaves by clicking Update Status. A status dialog runs and afterwards informs you of the status of your slave server(s).
