The vCenter Server instance is now part of a Linked Mode group. After you form a Linked Mode group, you
can log in to any single instance of vCenter Server and view and manage the inventories of all the vCenter
Servers in the group. It might take several seconds for the global data (such as user roles) that are changed on
one machine to be visible on the other machines. The delay is usually 15 seconds or less. It might take a few
minutes for a new vCenter Server instance to be recognized and published by the existing instances, because
group members do not read the global data very often.
