We have two vCenter 5.1 servers running in Linked Mode (Server 2008 R2 with remote SQL 2005). When I log in to the WebClient, I get the error "Unable to connect to vCenter Inventory Service on <servername>, and I'm only able to see the Inventory of one of the vCenter Servers.
When I take the servers out of Linked Mode, they both now show up in the Web Client, due to the new SSO service. But, of course, now they don't both show up in the VI Client, as is the advantage of Linked Mode. I'm not getting any of the typical Inventory Service issues in the VI Client (Hardware Status tab errors, etc.), only the one issue with the WC. I did find a KB article that showed some promise. http://kb.vmware.com/kb/2019346 But, alas, no joy. I've spent about 5 hours with Support working on this, and they seem to be just as stumped.
Has anyone come across this and conquered it?
Thanks a lot,
David
