Keepalived nopreempt option not working

keepalived

I want to use nopreempt option with keepalived vrrp setting to run backup node as master when master goes down and again reback into network.

I setup nopreempt option in both servers and set state as backup in both servers but due to high priority nopreempt is not working.

Please guide to resolve it?

  Master Machine: 
  ! Configuration File for keepalived
   vrrp_instance VI_1 {
   state BACKUP
   nopreempt
   interface eth0
   virtual_router_id 1
   priority 250
   advert_int 1
   virtual_ipaddress {
    192.168.1.2/24
    } 
  }

  Backup Machine :
  ! Configuration File for keepalived
   vrrp_instance VI_1 {
   state BACKUP
   nopreempt
   interface eth0
   virtual_router_id 1
   priority 200
   advert_int 1
   virtual_ipaddress {
     192.168.1.2/24
   }

}

Regards,
Ben

Changed both server state as BACKUP. Primary having higher priority and with nopreempt, both having the same router ID. This works for me.
