Modify the Storage Center Shared Management IP Address(es)

In a dual-controller Storage Center, the shared management IP address is hosted by the leader under normal circumstances. If the

leader fails, the peer takes over the management IP, allowing management access when the normal leader is down.

About this task

NOTE: A single-controller Storage Center does not have a shared management IP address by default, but it can be

configured to facilitate a future transition to dual controllers.
