Dell SmartFabric Services User Guide Release 10.5.3

Dynamic server onboarding

When the servers are connected to the fabric, SFS discovers the servers automatically.

From 10.5.3.0 release, SFS dynamically discovers PowerMax devices using the LLDP TLV received from these devices and configures the discovered interfaces as the untagged member of the VLAN 4091—default client management network.

NOTE This feature is applicable only for L3 personality.

SFS discovers a host as a known server TLV in LLDPDUs sent through the connected ports. Following are the list of known servers discovered by SFS:

  • VxRail
    NOTE By default, SFS discovers and onboards the VxRail server automatically. From 10.5.3.0 release, SFS provides an option to onboard the VxRail servers manually by disabling the VxRail Manager Integration option. For more information, see Edit default fabric settings. This option is applicable only for SFS L3 personality.
  • PowerStore X
  • PowerStore T
  • PowerMax

When a known server is discovered on the server-facing port, SFS applies the server profiles or server interface profile configurations.
