Correct answers: A, B, D
Explanation
To join a new vCenter Server Appliance to an existing SSO domain, the administrator must select the appropriate option during the deployment wizard, provide the existing SSO domain details and administrator credentials, and ensure network connectivity between the new appliance and the existing domain. Failure to follow these steps will result in the inability to integrate the VCSA with the existing SSO domain.
- A. Correct.
Correct: During the VCSA deployment wizard, the administrator must select the option to join an existing SSO domain to successfully integrate the new appliance with the existing domain.
- B. Correct.
Correct: The administrator must provide the existing SSO domain name and credentials of an account with sufficient privileges to join the domain during the deployment process.
- C. Incorrect.
Incorrect: SSO domain configurations must be performed during the deployment process; it cannot be configured post-deployment in this scenario.
- D. Correct.
Correct: The new VCSA must have proper network connectivity to communicate with the existing SSO domain for successful integration.
- E. Incorrect.
Incorrect: Deploying the VCSA with an embedded PSC creates a new SSO domain, which is not the goal in this scenario.
