An engineer plans to integrate a Cisco ACI fabric with VMware vCenter DVS. Which set of actions must the engineer take to ensure a successful integration?
The correct answer is B. Set a vCenter controller named ACI-VMware-Integration and select Read Write Access mode. To successfully integrate Cisco ACI with VMware vCenter DVS, an administrator must configure a vCenter controller within ACI with a descriptive name and set its access mode to Read Write.

Why each option
To successfully integrate Cisco ACI with VMware vCenter DVS, an administrator must configure a vCenter controller within ACI with a descriptive name and set its access mode to Read Write.
Read Only access mode would prevent ACI from making necessary configurations on the vCenter DVS, leading to integration failure.
Integrating Cisco ACI with VMware vCenter DVS requires the ACI APIC to have administrative control over the vCenter environment to create and manage distributed virtual port groups, push policies, and monitor virtual machine events. Therefore, a vCenter controller must be configured in the ACI APIC, given a logical name (e.g., ACI-VMware-Integration), and explicitly granted 'Read Write Access' mode. This enables the APIC to fully manage the DVS and related virtual networking aspects.
The integration requires configuring a 'vCenter controller' object in ACI, not a 'virtual switch' object; ACI manages virtual switches, but the object itself is a controller.
This choice incorrectly refers to configuring a 'virtual switch' instead of a 'vCenter controller' and also specifies an insufficient 'Read Only' access mode.
