VMWare VIP Policy - Multiple vCenter, Duplicate Cluster Names

[ianhoskins]

VM Admins are building their new vCenter 6 environment.  While discussing backups was told that the cluster names in the new vCenterB would be the same as the old vCenterA for a short amount of time until migration is complete.  My VIP queries are based on cluster names.
Will the VIP queries still work?

vCenterA - ClusterA
vCenterB - ClusterA

vCenterA and vCenterB are added as virtual machine servers already.

Thoughts?

Hi,

Would the clusters go into/under a new datacenter? How does it work? The information is kept in xml format which is usually strongly typed in terms of format.

Yep, its a new DataCenter under a new vCenter.

I think you'll be fine , but unfortunately I can't  test it.
