Manage OMNI essential and automation services
Services menu displays all the management and vCenter automation services running on the OMNI appliance.
By default, the web and database essential services start automatically after the initial setup. After adding the SmartFabric,
OME-M, or NSX-T instances and registering the relevant vCenters, OMNI creates automation services for each vCenter
instance. Automation services that are related to the SmartFabric , OME-M, or NSX-T instances start depending on the
automation option set during the registration of the vCenter.
