Purpose
This article provides information about installing linked mode and ADAM.
Resolution
Requirements for linked mode and ADAM:
- If nodes are on different domains, you must create a trust relationship between machines.
- Machines must be able to ping each other with FQDNs.
- Install using domain accounts.
- Domain accounts must have privileges on the local machine (on all Linked mode vCenters) to install into join mode.
Checking data in ADAM:
- Click Start > Programs > ADAM > ADAM ADSI Edit.
- In Connection Settings, connect to the node using Distinguished name (DN) or naming context and click OK
For example, dc=virtualcenter,dc=vmware,dc=int.
- Right-click the added node and click Connect to.
For detailed instructions, see the ESX 4.0 and vCenter Server 4.0 Installation guide.
