Remove HMC network restriction that 2nd NIC must be in a separate network

The current HMC network setup requires that the 2nd NIC on an HMC be in a separate network. The restriction should be removed, so the 2nd NIC can be in the same network as the 1st NIC. The 2nd NIC should be cabled to a different physical switch th...
