  • There must be a 1:1 mapping of vShield Manager to a vCenter. A single vShield Manager can’t be used to protect multiple vCenters even in linked mode. If you have more than one vCenter you need to have a vShield Manager for each vCenter that will have protected VM’s.

Sorry, but I don't understand your last question 😞 Do you have a vCenter server dual-homed (with two vNICs) ? Or your vCenter server is managing vSphere ESXi hosts from different networks ?
