More then one VSM in a vCenter

vpert · ‎06-22-2009

Hi there,

I'm wondering if it's possible to have more the one VSM Plugin registered in the vCenter.

We have several vCenter Datacenters and some of them have no layer 2 connectivity. So we plan to use more then one VSM. With this we had a "workaround" for the requirement of layer 2 connectivity between the VSM and VEM.

Has anyone tried to run more then one "standalone" VSM with the same VMware vCenter?

Hi Tom,

You can have more than 1 VSM registerd in a single vCenter instance as along as the VSM are associated with different vCenter Data Centers. Each VSM is treated as a separate vNetwork Distributed Switch.

Hope that helps, pf
