tolinrome,

 

I don't believe one is a primary or secondary interface for this heartbeat traffic.

 

You can also configure mirroring to go over the HA interface too, to avoid overhead on the interfaces serving application traffic.

 

As for viewing the HA interface, it's a normal TMM interface (specified as a HA interface if you used the setup wizard) with a self IP (but no floating self IP).
