Access OMNI plug-in from the vCenter
This information describes how to access OMNI plug-in from the vCenter. After you register vCenter with OMNI, a shortcut is
available from the vSphere Client left-pane within the menu drop-down and shortcuts view.
Before you use the plug-in, you must set up an OMNI appliance in vSphere. Once you register OMNI with vCenter, the OMNI
plug-in is available in the vCenter. For more information about how to register vCenter with OMNI, see here.
NOTE:
vCenter 7.0 supports plug-in autodiscovery feature. So, when you register or unregister OMNI appliance with
vCenter 7.0, refresh the browser to view the OMNI UI plug-in from the vCenter. When using older versions of vCenter, log
out and log in to access the plug-in from the vCenter.
When you select OpenManage Network Integration, the OMNI Home page is launched. You can add SmartFabric, NSX-T,
and OME-M instances and manage the service instances.
Edit OMNI autodiscovered SmartFabric instance
This information describes how to configure OMNI autodiscovered SmartFabric instances. If the OMNI virtual appliance is
connected to a link-local network on SmartFabric (such as VxRail Management Network-VLAN 3939), the SmartFabric IPv6 VIP
is autodiscovered by OMNI. For complete information about discovery, see mDNS service in Fabric creation.
