Linking vCenter 5.1
Hello Experts,
I am having big time trobule in linking 2 vSphere 5.1 vCenter servers. Below is the summary.
I have 2 vCenter servers 5.1 Namely
1.lab1.vm.com
2.lab2.vm.com
Both vCenters are in same domain and DNS is also looks good.
Now,
I have installed Primary SSO on Lab1.vm.com and I have used lab1.vm.com SSO credentials to join my Lab2.vm.com so that they can be linked. I have gone thorugh below documents.
http://pubs.vmware.com/vsphere-51/index.jsp?topic=%2Fcom.vmware.vsphere.vcenterhost.doc%2FGUID-7634B78B-07E5-44EC-B5A0-CBEE842A20FD.html
http://kb.vmware.com/selfservice/microsites/search.do?language=en_US&cmd=displayKC&externalId=2034074
Lab2.vm.com SSO is in Mulitsite mode.
Everything looks good , but when I try using vSphere client to login to my lab2.vm.com it shows me an error message
"You Don't have permission to login to this server : <lab2.vm.com>
but when I try logging in to lab1.vm.com - it logs me in , but throws an message
"Unable to connect to lab2.vm.com"
I refererred below documents , but it did not help me
http://kb.vmware.com/selfservice/microsites/search.do?language=en_US&cmd=displayKC&externalId=2035758
Looks like - Liked mode is deleting my vCenter permission , I am not sure whether there is an default account exists from where I can login and add teh vCenter permission (AD Group) once again.
Can anyone let me know , how to come over from this dilemma...? if some has steps to be followed please let me know.
Its been a long time and I see there is not much information in internet as well.
Thanks,
-Prashant Girennavar.

Thank you.
I dont know for what good reason vCenter deletes my previous permissions. I have added myself to administrator list when installing vCenter. Now it works good.
