a. OMNI sets Network Originator to Manual when you create a network using OMNI UI.
b. OMNI sets Network Originator to Auto when OMNI vCenter PortGroup automation creates a network.
4. Appends networks that are not created by the OMNI UI (all networks except the network that has Network Originator
set to Manual) to SmartFabric uplink of the type Default or CreateOnly.
OMNI automates network addition on one of the fabric uplinks. If you edit the network on the uplink using the OMNI UI and
add or edit Network of Originator type Auto, the automation process may remove that network.
5. Finds unused networks; SmartFabric networks that are not created by the OMNI UI, and not used by the SmartFabric
ServerInterface and SmartFabric uplinks.
6. Deletes unused networks from the SmartFabric.
NOTE: The Default or CreateOnly uplink can be configured on the SmartFabric through the OMNI. For more
information, see Configure and manage uplinks.
NOTE: If there is any change to IP address or hostname of a VxRail node in the cluster, OMNI takes about 20 to 30 minutes
to reflect any new network configuration changes for the changed VxRail host.
