Change Group Lead

I feel I know the answer to this is no, but I will ask anyway.  Is it possible to change the "group lead" member in an EqualLogic group?  I ask because currently I have a group comprised of the following members:  (2) x 6510E ; (4) x 6210E ; (1) x 6210S.  My current group lead is one of the 6510 members.  I would like to transfer group lead duties to one of the more capable 6210 members.  The controllers on those arrays are faster and seem more suited to have this role.  I heard that during firmware updates, the group lead role will shift, but I haven't noticed that during the past few updates I've done.  All members on v7.1.4.

One of the problems I'm trying to solve is that SANHQ once every day or so will fail to poll.  "Poll Failed" is all it says.  One of the trace log files says "Group Data collection timed out while collecting critical volume information forcing a poll abort".  The only workaround is to restart the EQLperfX service or reboot as it is unable to recover from this condition.  I had a case opened regarding this a long time ago and we did all kinds of troubleshooting like setting up management networks, deleting and adding the group, make sure we can ping all members eth interfaces, etc; and I thought it was fixed but a few weeks later it did it again.  I've since started a new dedicated SANHQ server up from scratch w/ latest version but fail to poll still happens.  Ideas?
