Delete a server interface profile
You can delete a service interface profile from the SmartFabric instance:
1. Select the server interface profile from the displayed list and click Delete.
2. Click Delete to confirm.
Import ESXi host profiles from vCenter
Automate onboarding of server interface profile by importing:
Use this feature to migrate the existing ESXi hosts that are already connected to the vCenter and ready to be onboarded on
to the fabric. The feature imports all the required servers to onboard on to the SFS instead of manually configuring the server
interface one at a time.
OMNI retrieves data center, clusters, hosts, VM NICs, and networks for the registered vCenter. Create server interface profiles
for the set of available VM NICs in ESXi hosts from vCenter.
NOTE: In vCenter, enable LLDP on Distributed Virtual Switch of ESXi host to discover the interfaces automatically.
1. From SmartFabric instance, select Server Interface.
2. Click Import from vCenter to launch the Onboarding ESXi Hosts wizard.
