Onboard nondiscovered server interfaces
Use the following procedure to onboard the server statically for nondiscovered server interfaces:
1. Click Onboard a Server onto the Fabric.
2. Select the server profile from the list or create a profile for the interface using Add Server Profile.
3. This option is used for onboarding servers that are not discovered by SFS. Select No for discovered server interface and
enter the Server Interface ID and click Next.
NOTE:
You cannot configure duplicate server interface ID. Dell Technologies recommends using MAC address to
onboard server interface without ":". For onboarding ESXi host interfaces for zero touch automation, use the ESXi host
VM NIC physical adapter MAC address without ":", for example, f8f21e2d78e0.
4. Select Yes for static onboarding.
