Unable to add SmartFabric instance in OMNI
Problem
Not able to add the SmartFabric instance in OMNI.
Causes
● SmartFabric instance is not reachable or is down.
● IP address of the SmartFabric instance is not the master node IP address.
Resolution
● Ensure that the SmartFabric is reachable. To check the SmartFabric connectivity:
1. Log in as root user through the OMNI VM console.
2. Check the connectivity of the SmartFabric instance using the ping command. If OMNI is internal, use IPv6 address or
hostname of the service instance. If OMNI is external, use the IPv4 address or hostname of the service instance.
:~$ ping <IPv4-address or hostname of the destination>
:~$ ping6 <IPv6-address or hostname of the destination>
3. If ping fails, verify that the OMNI interfaces are configured properly. See Verify OMNI VM connectivity.
● Ensure that the IP address is the master node IP address. To check the IP address of master node:
1. Identify the master node using the OS10 CLI command. See Add SmartFabric instance.
2. Add the SmartFabric instance using the identified master IP address.
Missing networks on server interfaces
Problem
OMNI automation process fails to create and associate the appropriate network on a server interface during synchronization.
Causes
● No relationship is formed between the vCenter and service instances.
● Automation service is running for that vCenter, but you do not see OMNI SmartFabric task created in vCenter.
● Automation service is not running for that vCenter.
