Map multiple fabric instances to a single OMNI plug-in
This information explains how to map fabric instances to a single vCenter instance. If you do not want to create individual OMNI to
vCenter mappings, you have the option of mapping multiple fabric instances to a single OMNI mapped to single or primary vCenter
instance.
Prepare the Management IP address
1. Configure a Management IP address on all Dell EMC ToRs enabled with SmartFabric Services.
2. Verify that the OMNI VM can ping or reach the Management IP addresses of all of the Dell EMC ToR switches enabled with
SmartFabric Services.
Add additional fabric instances
To add additional fabric instances, the OMNI plug-in VM uses the Master role switch IP Management address.
1. Verify the Master role switch.
switch# system bash
admin@switch:~$ cps_get_oid.py observed/dnv-cluster/cluster
Command output:
2. Click Add SmartFabric Instance to add additional fabric instances.
3. Enter the Master IP management address.
4. Enter the REST_USER API admin password used during deployment of the VxRail cluster through VxRail Manager. Use admin for the
password if no password has been defined.
5. Click Update Extension to synchronize OMNI with the newly added fabric instances.
Dashboard
This information describes how to access SmartFabric vCenter through the vSphere Client. A shortcut is available from the vSphere Client
