system host-swact controller-0
# connect to controller-1
system host-lock controller-0
system host-if-modify -m 1420 controller-0 <mgmt>
system host-unlock controller-0
# 270.001 alarm is present after unlocking controller-0
system host-lock compute-0 now fails (vim_progress_status | services-disable-failed)

Based on the discussion in the stx networking team on 2020-07-09, we believe this is procedural.
For the cluster-host, the mtu cannot be changed as the value from the network resource is always used.

Note: from a quick look at the database dump in the logs, it looks like the cluster-host network is shared with the management on the same interface. It sounds like we may need a semantic check or something similar to prevent the modify or unlock in this case. Needs further investigation

Marking as low priority for now as this is not a typical use-case.
