For this setup, configure an SDMC (A) to point to the active agent manager
running on another SDMC (B). From the GUI on SDMC A, go to the Settings
category in the left pane and click Agent Manager Configuration. Click Add on
the Agent Manager Configuration page, which opens and configures the agent
manager using the IP address and agent manager user ID and password for
SDMC B (Figure 12-2).

12.2 Active/Passive High Availability overview
In a high availability environment, there are two SDMCs operating as
synchronized nodes in an active/passive cluster. One node in the environment is
kept active at all times, with a second passive node kept in close
synchronization. If your active node fails, the passive node (on standby, waiting
for a failure of the active node) takes over in about 10 minutes.
