Why each option
To manage multiple vCenter Server instances across different sites from a single vSphere Client session, VMware vCenter Enhanced Linked Mode (ELM) must be configured. ELM allows vCenter Servers to share authentication and inventory information.
VMware Certificate Authority (VMCA) manages certificates for vCenter components but does not directly link vCenter inventories for cross-site management.
VMware Site Recovery Manager (SRM) is a disaster recovery solution for orchestrating failover and failback, not for unified daily management of separate vCenter inventories.
While vCenter Single Sign-On (SSO) is a prerequisite for Enhanced Linked Mode and provides authentication, it alone does not link the inventories across different vCenter servers for single-pane management.
Enhanced Linked Mode (ELM) connects multiple vCenter Server instances by sharing their authentication domains (vCenter Single Sign-On) and inventory, allowing an administrator to view and manage all linked vCenter Server instances from a single vSphere Client session. This provides a unified management experience across multiple sites or vCenter instances.
Concept tested: vCenter Enhanced Linked Mode (ELM)
