OMNI support for vCenter Enhanced Linked mode
Enhanced Linked mode (ELM) is a feature available in vCenter. Using ELM, you can link multiple vCenter appliances that are
deployed across different location and have a global view of the inventory.
OMNI appliance behavior when the vCenter or vCenters registered to OMNI are in ELM:
● You must register all the vCenters that are in ELM with OMNI. For example, if two vCenters vCenter1 and vCenter2 are
linked using ELM, you must register both the vCenters (vCenter1 and vCenter2) to launch OMNI plug-in from vCenter1 and
vCenter2. For more information, see Register OMNI with vCenter.
● If you want to launch OMNI plug-in from a vCenter that is in ELM and does not have any host that is connected to
SmartFabric instance, you can only register the vCenter and disable automation. To do that, select True for registration
option and False for automation option when adding the vCenter instance in OMNI. For more information, see Register OMNI
