Design questions for vCenter 5.1, SSO and SRM
Currently running vcenter 5.0 U1 at primary and recovery sites. These vcenter servers are currently in linked mode. In researching the upgrade to 5.1, I see a requirement that all vcenter servers in a linked mode group must be registered to the same SSO server. This seems like a requirement for a single point of failure if you want to use linked mode, if there is only one SSO server. I realize this applies to an environment without SRM as well. I bring this up in the SRM forum because I think it applies to most SRM environments.
My question is, how can I design for the recovery site to be independant of the primary site? Of course we want the recovery site to be available in a total loss of primary site scenario. In SRM 5.0 I believe linked mode is not required, but it is still recommended.
Maybe the answer is in SSO/vCenter design and I have not read enough about that yet. Just wondering if anyone has any thoughts...
