Integrating EFA Hyper-V Service

To integrate your Microsoft Hyper-V hosts with the EFA Hyper-V service, perform the following steps:

  1. Create or modify your fabric as required.

  2. Create or modify your tenant information as required.

  3. Register your new Microsoft System Center Virtual Machine Manager (SCVMM) as a tenant of the fabric.

  4. Verify your integration.

Managing Microsoft Hyper-V Tenants

The primary task in managing your existing Microsoft Hyper-V hosts as tenants is to update them periodically or add new devices to your network. Another task is to delete these servers when they are not required.
