Remote and Multi-instance vCenter Server Support

The vCenter Server AIM communicates with one or more remote vCenter Server instances. However, when you use a CA Server Automation manager with multiple remote vCenter Server AIMs to manage multiple vCenter environments, consider the following:

• Verify that each vCenter Server is uniquely associated with one AIM.
• Use Administration on the CA Server Automation manager user interface or NodeCfgUtil on the appropriate AIM server to remove any ambiguous associations.

If more than one AIM manages a particular vCenter Server, management, discovery, or monitoring issues can occur.

Note: When you run the vCenter Server AIM without the CA Server Automation manager in an eHealth, [set the sp variable for your book], or CA NSM environment, the AIM supports single-instance mode only.
