Enable SmartFabric Services L2 personality using script
In SFS L2 personality, you can enable SFS only using API. All deployments from SmartFabric OS10.4.1.4 to OS10.5.0.x version
support only the single rack network fabric.
NOTE: The L2 personality is not available for new deployments after 10.5.0.5 release.
A python script is used to enable SFS. For more information about L2 personality commands and information, see VMware
Integration for VxRail Fabric Automation SmartFabric User Guide, Release 1.1 available in OMNI Documentation page.
