Embedded linked mode on vCenter 6.5 u2b

[BruceHB]

We know that the embeded link mode is supported in 6.5 u2: vSphere 6.5 Update 2 Now Available - VMware vSphere Blog

however, I met the connection issue of elm visit problem.

In my testbed, I deploy vc1 and vc2 as two embeded vcenter server.

I link vc1 sso during vc2 stage 2 configuration.

After add the 2nd vcenter, I can visit vc1 and vc2 in vc2 web interface.

However, the vc1 web client doesn't show vc2 in flash client

and in its HTML5 client, vc1 only can show vc2 item but it will report " no privileges" when I click the vc2.

vc1 snapshot(left: flash, right: html5)

vc2 snapshot(flash):

Interesting thing is these issues are not created in vSphere 6.7 scenario.

I suppose this may be a bug in vSphere 6.5 u2.

Does anyone meet the same issue? I'm sure I can reproduce it 100%.

It could be look-up service issue,try re-booting VC1.

Hi Lokesh,

     It works. 

     I think it is still a bug, since I just do a common customer operation. There is no any message to tell me the vc1 should be rebooted after I add linked vc2.

     by the way, do you know which service  is for the lookup service?  VC reboot is too heavy. A service restart may be more efficient.

Thanks & Best Regards,

Bruce

Hi Bruce,

To resolve the issue Web-client re-start is good enough.

for more information please refer VMware vCenter Server 6.5 Update 2 Release Notes

Under the section Known issues --> vCenter Server, vSphere Web Client, and vSphere Client Issues

Yes, this is a bug and might get fixed in future releases of 65 line.
