Add an ESXi host to more than one vCenter server

vmware-esxivmware-vcenter

I have a situation where I need to add a host to two vCenter servers.
The vCenter servers are divided into two different networks and are not in a linked mode i.e. the other vCenter server belongs to a partner company of us and the host is a shared host between us.

The host is already a member of their vCenter server.

I already configured two management IP addresses of the ESXi host and it is accessible from both networks. However, I don't know if it is safe to try to add the host to our vCenter server as well.

The host can only be managed by one vCenter at a time. But you can move hosts to new vCenters in this manner without disrupting the virtual machines.
