expire. Do not change the account settings.

Creating vCenter Server Linked Mode Groups
A Linked Mode group allows you to log in to any single instance of vCenter Server and view and manage
the inventories of all the vCenter Server systems in the group.
You can join multiple vCenter Server systems to form a Linked Mode group. You can configure a Linked
Mode group during vCenter Server installation or after vCenter Server is installed.
To join a vCenter Server group, you enter the fully qualified domain name (or IP address) of a remote
machine on which vCenter Server is running. The remote machine can be any vCenter Server instance that
is, or will become, a member of the Linked Mode group.
