WLC Primary, secondary - when do the AP change WLC?

Question

Hi Guys
A Simple question :)
When a AP is associated to a WLC, lets call it "WL0C1" and i want to move it to another primary WLC "WLC2".
on the [High Availability] phane:
Before:
Primary Controller: WLC1 - 10.10.10.11
No Secondary WLC
after:
Primary Controller: WLC2 - 10.10.10.12
Secondary Controller: WLC1 - 10.10.10.11
Mobility groups and so on, is ok :)
My question is:
When do the AP switch over to the "new Primary" WLC?
have a Happy New Year

Hi Scott
That was exactly what i was expecting, but they only switch over to the other WLC when i reset them.
maybe i should have told, that i have upgraded software on the failover WLC, and predownloaded the OS to the AP's on the "old WLC".
the reason for the move of the AP's is, that i want to reload the WLC (to get it up on the new software), in order to have as little downtime as possible.
i think i have to manually reload the AP's in order to get them to join a WLC with a newer Software.
