VMware vSphere 8.x Professional — Question 41

An administrator is tasked with deploying a new on-premises software-defined data center (SDDC) that will contain a total of eight VMware vCenter instances.
The following requirements must be met:
All vCenter instances should be visible in a single vSphere Client session.
All vCenter inventory should be searchable from a single vSphere Client session.
Any administrator must be able to complete operations on any vCenter instance using a single set of credentials.
What should the administrator configure to meet these requirements?

Answer options

• A. Two Enhanced Linked Mode groups consisting of four vCenter instances each in a Single Sign-On domain.
• B. A single Hybrid Linked Mode group consisting of four vCenter instances each in a Single Sign-On domain.
• C. A single Enhanced Linked Mode group consisting of eight vCenter instances in one Single Sign-On domain.
• D. A single Hybrid Linked Mode group consisting of eight vCenter instances in one Single Sign-On domain.

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct answer is C because a single Enhanced Linked Mode group allows all eight vCenter instances to be managed under one Single Sign-On domain, which fulfills the requirements of visibility, searchability, and credential usage. Options A and B do not provide a single group for all instances, and option D incorrectly suggests a Hybrid Linked Mode, which is not necessary for the outlined requirements.
