    hi,

    the clients will be reflected in both SEPM if the replication is successful. IN that case, if the one of SEPM is down, the information will be still seen on the second ( replication partner) SEPM. FRom that console, you can manage the clients. Since policies too are replicated ( by default) there should not be any problem.

    First you have to create a management server list which includes remote site server IP.Primary server IP should have first priority.

    When the Primary site is up and running client will access it. when you have a failure of primary site all client will automatically access remote server for updation.

     Just make sure your Management Server List is configured properly and is showing server names / Ip address. As this will also there in sylink.xml file.
    Once sylink has both server names/Ip address if any one server fails it will automatically connect to another server.

    As srinivas suggested create a new management server list with first priority as your primary server as first priority and the replication partner as second priority and assign to the group. Below doc can help you in this
