Access to OMNI Fabric Management Portal
This information describes how to access SmartFabric vCenter through the vSphere Client. A shortcut is available from the
vSphere Client left-pane within the menu drop-down and shortcuts view.
Access OMNI portal using registered vCenter
Before you use the plug-in, you must set up an OMNI appliance in vSphere. Once you register OMNI with vCenter, an OMNI
plug-in is available in the vCenter.
NOTE: vCenter 7.0 supports plug-in autodiscovery feature. So, when you register or unregister OMNI 1.3 appliance with
vCenter 7.0, refresh the browser to view the OMNI UI plug-in from the vCenter. For OMNI 1.3 with older versions of
vCenter, log out and log in to access the plug-in from the vCenter.
When you select SmartFabric, the home page displays information about the SmartFabric domains being managed. This page
also allows you to update extensions if available. Information includes:
● Service instance
● vCenter credentials
