The MediatorManager is part of the OperationSupport.
The MediatorManager decides about which MediatorInstanceManager to be addressed for provisioning of a mediator process for an individual device. It is regarding device type and e.g. load balancing criteria. Future versions might support re-allocation of mediator processes based on planned operational activities like replacement of a mediator virtual machine or unplanned events like failure of a mediator virtual machine.
New and to be discussed: A prerequisite for creating or modifying a mediator is that the IP address provided as an input is not used for an existing mediator instance with another mount name in connected state.
The MediatorManager is required for connecting devices to the controller.
