RKM key vault high availability deployment

When dual RKM appliances are used for high availability, the RKM appliances must be clustered,
and must operate in maximum availability mode, as described in the RKM appliance user
documentation.
When dual RKM appliances are clustered, they are accessed using an IP load balancer. For a
complete high availability deployment, the multiple IP load balancers are clustered, and the IP load
balancer cluster exposes a virtual IP address called a floating IP address. The floating IP address
must be registered on the Brocade encryption group leader.
The secondary RKM appliance must not be registered, and also individual RKM appliance IP
addresses must not be registered.
