    In HA environment of 3 subsystems each : 

    1.) Will subsystems talk directly to each other  to keep in sync ? or Through VIP how is sync happening between cluster of subsystem 3mgmts, 3 portals, 3 analytics ?

    2.) How does gateway know each of mgmts subsystems. As we only register on VIP of gateways in one mgmt.

    Raj,

    You will be using load balancer (VIP) for each subsystem. This is F5, whenever request is received for VIP, traffic is routed to backend host.

    When you create ISO file, you need to mention each host details, like network card interface,IP, hostname info, and you will be mentioning the endpoint, which is VIP. 

    If you use load balancer as HAProxy, instead of F5, you can refer the sample value provided by IBM.
