We have a project containing ACI and Vxrail, and I heard that there is some issue in connecting ACI to vxrail, and I dont know exactly,
vxrail will have its vmware environment, so I think it will be just connecting the APIC to vcenter, create VDS, and then depoly EPGs "port groups" using APIC. am I correct?
I am asking if someone have this implementation before, to share his experience and issues he faced.
The Vxrail will be connected to ACI leaf switch through DELL TOR front end switch

Hi @most_ahdy
Have you had a chance to look at this thread:

Yes, it discuss a cluster discovery issue,
I have a very little information about vxrail, and I know that it creates its own VDS for their internal operation, and connect the available vnic (uplinks) to it.
So what if ACI deploy its own VDS in vcenter, can I migrate the vxrail operation from old vds to ACI vds,
from another thread: https://community.cisco.com/t5/application-centric-infrastructure/integrating-vxrail-to-cisco-aci/m-p/4572619#M12029
it says that most customers let vxrail manage the vcenter, and use ACI as a limited monitor tool.
So I need an high level overview of how the ACI and vxrail can work together

IMO, if you arent using VMM integration then you're really losing a lot. Here is an official Cisco document on integrating VXRail and ACI. If you have VCF there is an official guide on the ACI documentation portal, too.
