vCSA 6.5e enhanced link mode - can only see both vCenters from one side?

[5mall5nail5]

Hey all -

I have an external PSC deployed at each site using the same SSO domain.  Site 1 was deployed first - created a new SSO domain.  Deployed VCSA there, all is well.  Site 2 was deployed second with external PSC, joined existing SSO domain specifying the IP of the first PSC.  Deployed 2nd VCSA, all is well.

I can log in as SSO admin or AD and see Site 1 and Site 2 from site 2 VCSA.  However, at Site 1, I can see the two PSCs and two VCSA in "Nodes" under System Deployment, but I cannot see the vCenters, just the single Site 1 VCSA.

Any pointers?

Hello 5mall5nail5,

Can you check if you can do nslookup for the PSC/VC and resolve the site B successfully?

Can you try login to webclient from site 1 and try to check the webclient logs or share it with me (when you try to login or after login)

log location for webclient : /var/log/vmware/vsphere-client/logs/

vsphere_client_virgo.log is the most latest log.

Thanks,

MS

Thanks - actually, figured it out.  Apparently it's a bug - I had to reboot the site 1 VCSA in addition to the PSC.  Once I did that, all is good!

I think Linked Mode in general is a bug.

Eh - if you have to manage dozens of vCenters it's very convenient.
