Note:
This is not a CLI command, but rather an executable that is run on the SDC server.
This command can not be used on ESX servers. Instead, follow the steps
described in

/opt/emc/scaleio/sdc/bin/drv_cfg --mod_mdm_ip

This utility calls the kernel to modify an MDM's IP address list. It is typically used in
cases when an MDM IP address has changed, or when MDMs are added/removed
from/to the system. The command must be run on every SDC in the system. To bring
the changes into effect, a server restart is required.
Location of drv_cfg command:
Linux: /opt/emc/scaleio/sdc/bin/drv_cfg

Windows: C:\Program Files\emc\scaleio\sdc\bin\drv_cfg

Note:
Extending your VxFlex OS system with another MDM requires that you update all
SDCs in your system with the new MDM IP address. Ensure that you run this
command on all SDCs.
