2V0-21.23 Question 163
Select 3You are configuring a new vCenter Server instance and need to join it to an existing Single Sign-On (SSO) domain. The existing SSO domain is 'corp.local', and your goal is to ensure that the new vCenter Server instance integrates seamlessly into the existing domain for centralized authentication and management. Which steps must you follow to successfully join the new vCenter Server to the existing SSO domain?
- A
Select the 'Join existing SSO domain' option during the vCenter Server installation or configuration process.
- B
Enter the SSO domain name, such as 'corp.local', along with the appropriate administrator credentials for the existing SSO domain.
- C
Reinstall the vCenter Server instance to ensure compatibility with the existing SSO domain.
- D
Ensure network connectivity between the new vCenter Server and the existing Platform Services Controller (PSC) or vCenter Server in the domain.
- E
Create a new SSO domain with a different name to avoid conflicts with the existing SSO domain.
Show answer and explanation
Correct answers: A, B, D
Explanation
To join a new vCenter Server instance to an existing SSO domain, you must select the appropriate option during setup, provide valid credentials for the existing domain, and ensure network connectivity to the existing domain's components. These steps enable centralized authentication and management across the SSO domain. Reinstallation or creating a new SSO domain would not align with the goal of joining the existing domain.
- A. Correct.
Correct. Selecting 'Join existing SSO domain' is a required step when integrating a new vCenter Server instance into an existing SSO domain.
- B. Correct.
Correct. Providing the existing SSO domain name and valid administrator credentials is mandatory for authentication and successful integration.
- C. Incorrect.
Incorrect. Reinstallation is not required if the vCenter Server is compatible with the existing SSO domain and properly configured.
- D. Correct.
Correct. Network connectivity is essential for the new vCenter Server to communicate with the existing SSO domain components like the Platform Services Controller (PSC).
- E. Incorrect.
Incorrect. Creating a new SSO domain would isolate the new vCenter Server from the existing domain, defeating the purpose of integration.
