Enable Communication Between NSX-T Manager and Panorama
Complete the following procedure to enable
communication between Panorama and NSX-T Manager. You can connect
your Panorama to up to 16 NSX-T Managers. If you are connecting
your Panorama to multiple NSX-T Managers, you must carefully plan
your device group hierarchy and template stacks and consider how
they interact with the other components needed for deployment. Service
definitions reference device groups and template stacks and push
that information to the firewalls in the related ESXi clusters.
