Result : The SMCs are joined. Because the system is now an SMC cluster, all
configuration is shared across both SMCs. So redundant SMC now has the
same configuration as first SMC. Modifying one SMC propagates changes to
the other SMC automatically.
To complete the High Availability installation, you must now enable the
VRRP processes.
Procedure 23
