An administrator needs two vCenter Servers to be visibile within a single vSphere Web Client session.
Which two vCenter Server and Platform Services Controller (PSC) configurations would accomplish this? (Choose two.)
A.
Install a single PSC with two vCenter Servers registered to it.
B.
Install two PSCs in the same Single Sign-On domain with one vCenter Server registered to each PSC.
C.
Install a single PSC with two vCenter Servers registered to it and configure Linked Mode.
D.
Install two PSCs in the same Single Sign-On domain with one vCenter Server registered to each PSC and configure Linked Mode.

Enhanced Linked Mode links multiple vCenter Server systems by using one or more Platform Services Controllers. With Enhanced Linked Mode, you can view and search across all linked vCenter Server systems. This mode replicates roles, permissions, licenses, and other key data across systems.
Enhanced Linked Mode provides the following features for both vCenter Server on Windows and vCenter Server Appliance systems:
■
You can log in to all linked vCenter Server systems simultaneously with a single user name and password.
■
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.
■
Roles, permission, licenses, tags, and policies are replicated across linked vCenter Server systems.
To join vCenter Server systems in Enhanced Linked Mode, connect them to the same Platform Services Controller, or to Platform Services Controllers that share the same vCenter Single Sign-On domain.
So that makes it C & D surely? It requires linked mode.
I think the key is in the phrase “and configure linked mode”. If you install two PSCs in the same SSO, as I understand it, Enhanced Linked Mode is configured by default. There’s no “and” required. https://communities.vmware.com/thread/534150?start=0&tstart=0
I agree it should be C & D.
Please confirm
Agree A & B
“Starting with vSphere 6.0, the implementation of Linked Mode has changed. You no longer need to join vCenter Server instances to Linked Mode groups. You can access the replication functionality provided by Linked Mode in vSphere 5.5 by registering multiple vCenter Server instances to the same Platform Services Controller or joining Platform Services Controller instances in the same vCenter Single Sign-On domain. ”
… so there is no “and configure” required
