Import SmartFabric discovered server interfaces
Automate onboarding of server interface profile by importing profiles that are discovered by SFS. Starting from 2.0 release, you
can onboard unknown servers using OMNI.
When the servers are connected to the fabric, SFS discovers the servers automatically, and OMNI onboards the discovered
servers as part of this workflow. SFS discovers the hosts or servers as known using the originator field in the custom LLDP
TLVs sent by the servers. Starting from OS10.5.2.2 release, SFS discovers the unknown servers and you can onboard the
unknown servers through OMNI using the Import from Fabric option. Onboarding unknown server is applicable for SFS L3 leaf
and spine personality. Use this feature to onboard a new known and unknown server.
● Known server—A known server is a host that sends a valid originator in Dell-specific (custom) TLVs in LLDP frame that is
recognized by SFS. Following are the list of known servers that are discovered by SFS:
○ VxRail
○ PowerStore-X
○ PowerStore-T
● Unknown server—An unknown server is a host that does not send a valid originator in Dell-specific TLVs in LLDP frame.
