If you are using 10.1.7 IP Managers in a deployment scenario with both the Failover Manager and Configuration Manager in the VMware M&R UI, the 10.1.7 IP Manager service command --edaa=ip/2.0 option does not have the features to support the Failover Manager. As a result, you have to manually configure the EDAA mode for 10.1.7 IP Managers for only this scenario.
Skip this section if you are only using Failover Manager and not Configuration Manager, because the 10.1.7 IP Managers do not need to be exposed using EDAA. Or, if you are only using Configuration Manager, because the 10.1.7 IP Managers service --edaa=ip/2.0 option that lacks Failover Manager support is not an issue.
