Register Microsoft SCVMM Server With EFA

About this task

Register the Microsoft SCVMM server with EFA. Do the following:

1. Use the efa scvmm register command to register the Microsoft SCVMM server with this EFA instance.

   Before you register the Microsoft SCVMM server, verify that the Microsoft SCVMM entry is created. Use the efa tenant show command to do so.

2. Once you have registered your Microsoft SCVMM, verify that the Microsoft SCVMM server was registered successfully and know the status of discovery of Hyper-V hosts managed by it.

Example
