Now the minion can be safely restarted.
.. note::
If the ipc_mode for the minion is set to TCP (default in Windows), then
each minion in the multi-minion setup (one per master) needs its own
tcp_pub_port and tcp_pull_port.
If these settings are left as the default 4510/4511, each minion object
will receive a port 2 higher than the previous. Thus the first minion will
get 4510/4511, the second will get 4512/4513, and so on. If these port
decisions are unacceptable, you must configure tcp_pub_port and
tcp_pull_port with lists of ports for each master. The length of these
lists should match the number of masters, and there should not be overlap
in the lists.
Now the minions will check into the original master and also check into the new
redundant master. Both masters are first-class and have rights to the minions.
