For more information about server onboarding types, see
Server discovery and onboarding. You can onboard a server statically or dynamically.
NOTE:By default, the auto breakout feature is enabled in SmartFabric spine switches. SFS UI does not provide an option to breakout ports in spine switches.
NOTE:When entering the server interface ID, you must use only the MAC address of the host VM NIC as the server interface ID when onboarding the server. OMNI automation works only with the MAC address as the server interface ID and not with any name.
Onboard discovered interfaces—Dynamic onboarding
Use the following procedure to dynamically onboard a discovered server:
From
Server Interface tab, click
Create.
Enter the server interface ID.
NOTE:You cannot configure duplicate server interface ID. Use the MAC address of the host VM NIC as the server interface ID without the colon (:).
Select the server profile. The template changes based on the server profile selection.
Existing server profile—Select the server profile ID from the list.
New server profile—Create a profile ID. Enter the unique string for the server profile ID and the bonding type.
Select one or multiple networks for tagged and untagged networks.
Select
No for static onboarding.
Select Enable or Disable for NIC bonding.
Click
Create.
