Unable to configure datacenter groups across two VMware Cloud Director Sites

Products

• VMware Cloud Director

Issue/Introduction

• Multisite is configured between two VCD sites. For ex: Site 1 and Site 2.
• Attempting to create datacenter group from Site 1 does not list OrgVDCs from Site 2 or vice versa.

Environment

VMware Cloud Director 10.x

Cause

VMware Cloud Director does not support datacenter groups across multiple VCD sites.

Resolution

Starting with version 10.5, VMware Cloud Director supports NSX Federation, enabling service providers to deliver consistent networking and security services across multiple sites—each managed by separate NSX Manager instances—while operating within a single VCD environment.
