Automate having 2 VIPs on the same server (Pacemaker)

scneario:
Db2 HADR/Pacemaker
ROS (reads on standby enabled)
VIP set for Primary
VIP set for Standby (ROS)

If a maintenance on standby is needed, the VIP from the Standby needs to be manually moved from the standby to the Primary (having both VIPs in the same host).

For now, IBM do not automate having 2 VIPs on the same server.

The request to make a feature (I understand that is should be via db2cm) to move the VIP from the Standby to the Primary (remaining both VIPs (from Primary and Standby) in the same server).
