Deploying SSO for the vCenter Linked Mode
For two vCenter Servers to be in Linked Mode, they should share the same SSO security domain. This is achieved by using two available SSO deployment modes:
- vCenter Single Sign-On for an additional vCenter Server in an existing site
- vCenter Single Sign-On for an additional vCenter Server with a new site
These options are only made available when you start the SSO installer separately. The SSO installer initiated during the Simple Install doesn't expose these options for an obvious reason—that is, to keep the installation simple.
