OMNI is an external plug-in for VMware vCenter that is designed to complement SFS by integrating with VMware vCenter to perform fabric automation. 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 flowchart figure.
The combination of OMNI and Cisco ACI vCenter integration creates a fully automated solution. OMNI and the Cisco APIC recognize and allow a VLAN change to be made in vCenter, and this change 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 EMC OpenManage Network Integration for VMware vCenter documentation page.
