Connect-VIServer -AllLinked with Enhanced Linked Mode

[stromcooper]

I'm struggling to find an "AllLinked" solution for "Connect-VIServer" with Enhanced Linked Mode.  Our VC6 infra has 4x geographic VCs in an Enhanced Linked Mode configuration and we may add more VCs as time passes.  I'm trying to write a script that will connect to all ELM VCs by specifying one VC and the "-AllLinked" parameter, however it only connects to that one VC and specifies "is not part of a linked mode configuration".

Any solutions on how to connect to all VCs in Enhanced Linked Mode, short of naming each one?

Hi,

Please follow the below link to connect the VC's in alllinked mode : Connect-VIServer - vSphere PowerCLI Cmdlets Reference Example7

Example :

Connect-VIServer "Server" -AllLinked:$true

Let us know if you have any issue in connecting the VC's.

From my understanding of Enhanced Linked Mode, the "-AllLinked" parameter unfortunately does not currently work as PowerCLI uses the same connection method as the vSphere Client (Desktop/C# Client).

"You can view and search the inventories of all linked vCenter Server systems within the vSphere Web Client. The vSphere Client does not support Enhanced Linked Mode."
