Hi @sagr0812 ,  
post logging into the VA

you can follow these steps

1.Enter the command to set up your passphrase: `va-bootstrap set-passphrase -t internal`

**Note:** Your passphrase must be identical for every VA in the cluster. The passphrase cannot start with a special character, and cannot include !, /, , or spaces.  
2.Enter the command to get a pairing code:  
va-bootstrap pair -t internal  
3. Enter the pairing code within 4 hours and select **Pair**  
4. Wait about 30 minutes for configuration to finish. When VA configuration is complete, the VA Status will change to Connected

thats it VA will get connected to tenant

thanks  
Avinash
