To integrate your VMware vCenter server with your EFA vCenter service, you need to do the following:
Create or modify your fabric as required.
Create or modify your tenant information as required.
Register your new VMware vCenter Server as a tenant of the fabric.
Verify your integration.
The primary tasks of managing your existing VMware vCenter servers as tenants would be to update them periodically or when you add new devices to them. Another task would be to delete these servers when not required.
The following network diagram will be used throughout this section to explain the various configurations.
This table lists the devices, their IP or Port information, and their role within the example network.
