Manage OMNI services
By default, the web and database essential services start automatically, and the services must be in running state. Once you
complete the OMNI virtual appliance setup by adding the SmartFabric service instances and register the relevant vCenters, the
system creates individual fabric automation services. The automation services are created based on the combination of the
number of vCenters registered and the SmartFabric service instances that are managed by the OMNI appliance. For example, if
OMNI appliance has two service instances and two registered vCenters, the system displays four automation services.
