VxRail Monthly Support Highlights
October 2023
Have you updated to the Latest Code yet?
Updating/Upgrading to the latest code is important. Customers on latest code enjoy greater functionality and fewer outages/service requests. Updating to the latest code ensures that you can take advantage of the newest features, functionality, fixes, and security enhancements. For VxRail, that means running code releases less than 12 months old, so code should be at 7.0.370 or greater. We recommend customers implement the latest available code release 7.0.452 released on July 20th, 2023 or 8.0.110 released on Aug 10th, 2023 to ensure they are protected against all known security vulnerabilities and known bugs.

Did you know?
Information on VMSA-2023-0023 and VxRail environments
VMware has published information on a number of important security issues with the DCERPC protocol implemented in vCenter as described in VMSA-2023-0023. For more information on this issue refer to the following VMware articles:
VxRail environments with VxRail deployed/managed vCenter
This issue is resolved in the following Dell VxRail Software releases:
- Dell VxRail 7.0.480 which includes VMware vCenter Server version 7.0 U3o
Note: Customers with Dell VxRail 7.0.xxx on 13G based VxRail servers currently cannot upgrade to 7.0.480. For more information see Dell VxRail 7.0.x Release Notes
VxRail 8.x releases which address this vulnerability will be released in Nov 2023.
For customers with a VxRail deployed/managed vCenter the recommendation to mitigate against the issue is to upgrade to the appropriate VxRail Package Software release which contains the fix when available.
Note: VxRail 4.5.xxx and VxRail 4.7.xxx are no longer supported by VxRail Engineering thus, no plans to remediate this issue on those releases directly, however, upgrades to Dell VxRail 7.0.480 are supported.
VxRail environments with customer or external managed vCenter
For customers with their own managed, or external vCenter then the recommendation is to upgrade to a vCenter build with the fix as outlined in the VMSA-2023-0023 official advisory.
For more information about compatibility between vCenter and VxRail Software Appliance releases see the following KB: Dell VxRail: VxRail and Customer-managed VMware vCenter Server (External vCenter) Interoperability Matrix (157682)
VMware Cloud Foundation on Dell EMC VxRail
For customers with VMware Cloud Foundation on Dell EMC VxRail details on the issue and fixes are outlined in the VMSA-2023-0023 official advisory article. VMware vCenter Server upgrades in VMware Cloud Foundation can be updated using the Async Patch Tool (AP Tool).
For more information on the process using Async Patch Tool (AP Tool) see:
Dell EMC VxRail: Troubleshooting guide for License issues
Which licenses are bundled with VxRail?
- VxRail Manager's license
- vCenter Standard license (internal vCenter implementations)
- vRealize Log Insight (internal vCenter implementations)
- vSAN Enterprise licenses (Only for VxRail versions 4.0.x and 4.5.x)
- Third Party licenses included:
- RecoverPoint for VMs: 5 VM licenses per node (for E,V,P,S series models) or 15 VM licenses per chassis for the G Series
- Isilon SD: can scale up to 36 TB
How to obtain vSphere licenses?
VxRail Appliance allows customers to use any existing eligible vSphere licenses with their VxRail, or the licenses can be purchased with a VxRail. This VxRail vSphere license independent model (also called bring your own or BYO vSphere License model) allows customers to leverage a wide variety of vSphere licenses they may have already purchased. Several vSphere license editions are supported with VxRail including Enterprise plus, Standard, and ROBO editions (vSphere Enterprise is also supported, but is no longer available from VMware). Also supported are vSphere licenses from Horizon bundles or add-ons when the appliance is dedicated to VDI. Starting VxRail version 4.7.x, vSAN Enterprise is no longer embedded with VxRail, to allow for more flexible purchasing options. VxRail supports all license editions of vSAN including Standard, Advanced, and Enterprise.
For more details on features included in each license type, please review the vSAN Licensing Guide.
If vSphere/vSAN licenses need to be purchased, they should be ordered through Dell EMC, the customer's preferred VMware channel partner, or from VMware directly. Licenses acquired through VMware ELA, VMware partners, or Dell EMC will receive single-call support from Dell EMC.
Users can add optional GPU cards during VxRail configuration for V Series only. The GPU cards are factory installed. However, VxRail systems with GPUs do not include any drivers or other required software for the GPUs. Customers must obtain, install and configure the appropriate drivers and software. All the NVIDIA GPUs require additional software purchased and licensed from NVIDIA.
Additional information can be found here on Applying vSphere licenses to VxRail components, Upgrading/Downgrading vSphere licenses, and Issues with License in VMware Licensing Portal in VMware Customer Connect.

Dell Remote Proactive Services can now carry out remote upgrades over Secure Connect Gateway
In June of this year, Dell Remote Proactive Services (RPS) launched their new offering whereby VxRail software upgrades can now be carried out remotely over SCG. This facility is available to all customers who have ProSupport Plus with the entitlement to have their upgrades carried out for them by Dell RPS. This removes the need to have a Zoom active for the time that the upgrade is being carried out.
Technical Consults in advance of the Upgrade are still required and will be carried out over Zoom, but once RPS ensures that the environment is in good order, they can work with you to schedule the upgrade and this can be carried out without the necessity for a Zoom session to be held open for the upgrade.
Please review this KB 000200631 for more information about upgrades over SCG.
There are some prerequisites to be aware of:
- You must have remote connectivity to your system enabled.
- Customers must provide the following passwords in advance of the upgrade:
- VxRail Manager - mystic & root
- vCenter Server - administrator & root
- Platform Server - root
- Witness - root (if stretched cluster)
In following Security best practices, we highly recommend passwords are changed after the upgrade. The following KB 000200881 can be used to assist in this process.
If there are any issues experienced during the upgrade, the RPS team will attempt to troubleshoot via SCG prior to engaging with you, should your assistance be needed for any reason.
