UCP systems can leverage the VMware vCenter Enhanced Linked Mode to enable you to view and manage multisite and multirack VMware infrastructure and link multiple vCenter servers together for increased visibility.
Note: Enhanced Linked Mode requires the advanced UCP Advisor license.
The following image represents the system architecture for linked vCenters:
After you register the primary vCenter in the Enhanced Linked Mode, you can register the UCP Advisor plugin for the remaining linked vCenters individually. When you launch UCP Advisor, you will see the systems in the primary vCenter that you are logged into in the Registered Systems pane, and you will see all of the systems discovered in the linked vCenters in the Discovered Systems pane. You can view and perform all UCP Advisor operations on the inventory in the discovered systems in the same way that you do for the registered systems.
Important: UCP Advisor and the remote Gateway VM must be able to access all of the devices managed in the management domain and the workload domains.
You can attach a single vCenter to a UCP system at a given point in time. However, you can attach a vCenter to different UCP systems.
