Add the vCenter as a compute manager

    1.  In your browser, connect to the NSX Manager web UI at https:// nsx-manager-fqdn, https://nsxmgr01.dell.lab, and log in as admin. 
      Note: It may take a few minutes after powering on the NSX Manager for the web UI to be accessible.

    2.  Read the EULA  and if you accept, check the box, and click CONTINUE. 
    3.  Select whether to Join the VMware Customer Experience Improvement Program and click SAVE. 
    4.  Select System > Fabric > Compute Managers > +ADD. 
    5.  For this example, the following values are entered in the New Compute Manager window: 
      1.  Name – vcenter01 
      2.  Type – vCenter (default) 
      3.  FQDN or IP Address – vcenter01.dell.lab 
      4.  HTTPS Port – 443 (default) 
      5.  Username – administrator@vsphere.local 
      6.  Password – password 
      7.  SHA-256 Thumbprint – blank 
        Note: You may enter the vCenter SHA-256 thumbprint here or allow it to be automatically filled out in the next step.

      8.  Enable Trust – Yes (optional) 
    6.  Click ADD. 
    7.  If the thumbprint value was blank, you are prompted to accept the server-provided thumbprint. Click ADD to use the thumbprint if it is trusted. 
    8.  The vCenter server appears in the Compute Managers list. After a few seconds, its  Registration Status changes to  Registered, and the  Connection Status is Up. 
      Note: You may need to click REFRESH at the bottom of the page for the fields to update.

    Adding the vCenter as a compute manager adds the VxRail nodes as host transport nodes. To verify, perform the following steps:

    1. Go to  System > Fabric > Nodes > Host Transport Nodes.
    2. Next to Managed by, select the vCenter from the drop-down list.
    3. Under Node, expand the VxRail cluster.
