This section describes the settings that are used for this deployment.
Note: OMNI must communicate with the SmartFabric switches and vCenter. The network connections to the SFS switches must be on the OOB management network. In this example, the vCenter is also on the OOB management network, so only one network interface must be configured in OMNI. If your vCenter is not reachable on the OOB management network, you must configure a second interface in OMNI to reach it. See the OpenManage Network Integration User Guide for more information.
