VCSA 6 - Enhanced Linked Mode

Johnjones

Anybody know how to enable this thing!? I've got my external PSC and two vCenters connected. However, when I log into the thick client I only see 1 VCSA. When I log into the web client, I see and can manage both. Also, on the web client it say's Linked Mode isn't being used...

Anyone?

This is on those things known as a "New Feature" the way it has been re-written to work with PSC, etc. Unfortunately, falling into that category means that you will need to use the WebClient to manage it.

You dont 'have' to enable it. vCenter Servers talking to the same PSC or set of PSCs in the same SSO domain are in enhanced linked mode. Like kj0 said, you need to the Web Client to work with it. Why the Web Client says it isnt being used, unsure..
