A virtual IP is assigned which is used for communications between the MDM cluster and the SDCs. Only one
virtual IP address is mapped to each NIC, with a maximum of four virtual IPs per system. This virtual IP is
mapped to the manager MDM dynamically and is moved if the primary MDM is under maintenance.
