Hi,
i have got the following scenario: I have an existing Esx Environment with 8 physical ESX hosts and 1 virtualized vCenter server for the entire Management and 1 Cluster. Now (for Oracle licensing costs) my company advised me to create a second Esx Cluster with 4 physical ESX hosts.
My question is related to the vCenter for the Management of the two Clusters. It's best practice to install a second vCenter Server for the Oracle VM Cluster and link the two vCenter servers together (Linked Mode) or to let them operate separate or to only use 1 vCenter Server for the managament of the 2 Clusters?
What in your opinion are the PROS and CONS?
thanks!
