4. Click Back, then OK to exit the network management UI.

5. Configure the valid NTP Server IP address or hostname, then click Enter. Go to the next section for the SSL certificate installation.

NOTE:

If the NTP Server is not configured, the SmartFabric appliance VM synchronizes with the ESXi server time zone.

vCenter registration

This information describes how to install an optional SSL certificate, register the vCenter plug-in, and register SmartFabric.

SSL certificates have been automatically generated after the password is successfully updated. For more information, see Log into VM

console.

NOTE:

Multiple OMNI instances cannot be mapped to a single vCenter instance. If a situation where multiple VxRail

clusters exist with their own respective fabric instances, Dell EMC recommends to map these fabric instances to a

single vCenter instance. For example, VxRail cluster1 will ideally have its own vCenter-1 VM instance, and the same is

true for VxRail cluster 2 with its own vCenter-2 VM instance. In this case, OMNI-1 will map to vCenter-1, and OMNI-2

will map to vCenter-2.

If you do not want to create individual OMNI to vCenter mappings, you do have the option of mapping multiple fabric instances to a single

OMNI mapped to a single or primary vCenter instance.

1. Select N to not install the SSL certificate now, or select Y to install the SSL certificate, then enter the remote SCP server IP/

hostname, username, and file path to the SSL certificate.

2. Enter the OMNI IP or FQDN to register with the vCenter instance. If an FQDN has been created for the OMNI plug-in, do not use the

IP address of the OMNI plug-in.
