Multiple vCenter Scenario

[LFC]

Hello

I have deployed a new VDP 6.1x appliance into the first vCenter 6.0 in an advanced linked mode configuration of two vCenter 6 appliances.

I can backup VM's in the first vCenter, however I see no option to add the second vCenter as a backup target and am therefore not able to protect the VM's

Am I missing some configuration?

Regards

You will need to deploy an additional VDP appliance for each vCenter that you want protect.

Hi Richardson

Thank you for the quick response. I assume then I can move the appliance into the second vCenter and then re-register it with the second vCenter?

The majority of the VM;s I need to backup are in vCenter 2

Yes you can, but I believe that deploy a new appliance (and remove the old one) will be more fast and safe than move appliances between vCenters.
