Dell OpenManage Network Integration (OMNI) is an external plug-in for VMware vCenter that is designed to complement SmartFabric Services (SFS) by integrating with VMware vCenter to perform fabric automation. With the release of OMNI 2.0, this integration is extended to SFS that runs on PowerEdge MX. This integration automates VLAN changes that occur in VMware vCenter and propagates those changes into the related SFS instances running on the MX platform as shown in the following figure.
The combination of OMNI and vCenter integration creates a fully automated solution. OMNI and the MX SFS recognize changes in vCenter and automatically propagate the changes to the MX SmartFabric. This allows a VLAN change to be made in vCenter, and it will flow through the entire solution without any manual intervention.
For more information about OMNI, see the SmartFabric Services for OpenManage Network Integration User Guide on the Dell OpenManage Network Integration for VMware vCenter documentation page.
