Manage the accessible provider virtual data centers

By default,
VMware Cloud Director Availability
can access all provider virtual data centers (pVDCs) that the
VMware Cloud Director
instance manages. As a
provider
, you can manage the accessible provider VDCs for each
VMware Cloud Director Availability
instance.
In a multi-site deployment when the
vCenter Server
instances are in separate data centers but in the same SSO domain, the
Replicator Service
tries connecting to all
vCenter Server
instances in the SSO domain, even restricted provider VDCs. If this connectivity is not possible to some remote
vCenter Server
due to network restrictions, navigating to
System Health
in the user interface can be slow and the logs can contain messages about connectivity problems.
