If you are using SnapCenter Plug-in for VMware vSphere in an environment with multiple vCenter Servers, you need to install and register one instance of the Plug-in for VMware vSphere for each vCenter Server so that there is a 1:1 pairing between the Plug-in for VMware vSphere and the vCenter Server.
If you are using SnapCenter Plug-in for VMware vSphere in an environment where multiple vCenter Servers are joined using vCenter Linked Mode or Enhanced Linked Mode, the same 1:1 pairing requirement applies between an instance of the Plug-in for VMware vSphere and each vCenter Server. In addition, each plug-in instance that is deployed on a vCenter Server in Linked Mode must be registered with one, and only one, SnapCenter Server.
- Examples of supported configurations:
- Example showing a configuration (in red) that is not supported:
After installing the Plug-in for VMware vSphere, you must create users and assign them to appropriate RBAC roles. The RBAC roles for the plug-in are different from the vCenter RBAC roles and are reconciled in a Linked Mode configuration.
When you are performing an operation that requires you to specify a vCenter Server, select the vCenter Server from the drop-down list. The default vCenter Server is always the first server in the drop-down list.
