Dell Technologies SmartFabric Services (SFS) provide the infrastructure automation needed to bring up a highly scalable fabric that supports HCI/CI and generic workloads. Customers that have deployed fabrics without enabling SFS need a process that will allow them to migrate their environments into an SFS-enabled fabric.
This document captures the migration steps required to move an existing ESXi cluster supported by a straight Layer 2 leaf-spine infrastructure in Full Switch mode onto a Dell Technologies SmartFabric Services environment.
The new environment will be an SFS Layer 3 BGP EVPN leaf-spine infrastructure with OpenManage Network Integration (OMNI) vCenter automation.
