OpenManage Network Integration (OMNI) enables the configuration and management of Dell PowerSwitch systems that are running SmartFabric OS10 within the vCenterNetworks that are created in vCenter are automatically configured in the fabric.
Use the OMNI plug-in in vCenter to:
The OMNI plug-in provides a way to easily and automatically create networks for SAP HANA. OMNI enables the VMware administrator to administer the network with no more than a basic understanding of the network. Administrators can use SFS APIs to further automate a network configuration.
The following figures show how to create SAP HANA networks using OMNI.
In the following example, the SAP HANA landscape uses three networks:
Using OMNI, you can create or modify Layer 2 or Layer 3 networks for the SAP HANA landscape. An SAP HANA internal network requires a Layer 2 network, whereas SAP HANA management and production networks require a Layer 3 network. This is because these networks must be routed to an external network. As shown in the following figure, creating or modifying these networks using OMNI is simple because OMNI is embedded in vSphere vCenter:
