VxRail compatibility with VMware vSphere

Hello lfod77,

Here is a link to the support matrix for VxRail 8.x. https://dl.dell.com/content/manual15256967-dell-vxrail-8-x-support-matrix.pdf?language=en-us

There is not a support matrix guide for 9.X at this time.

@DELL-Sam L​ Thanks for the reply; I feel like I've seen that document you linked to. What I am not understanding is how to read or see where it says a "E560F" is supported on ESXi 8 (vSphere). 
I mostly just see references to some version of VxRail Mgr. Can you tell me what page/table shows me the "E560F" is supported on vSphere 8?

Hello lfod77,

If you look on page 9 table 2 Under Supported VxRail Configurations, it states that if your model of VxRail E560F running all flash configuration and your chassis of 10 x 2.5” drive slots that it is compatible with VxRail8.x. If you are looking to see if your drives are supported by manufacture or part# then you can do that from page 131 through 136.

@DELL-Sam L​ So I think I am getting it; So since the servers/nodes in that supported configurations table indicate supported for VxRail 8.x (latest being 8.0.330) and then following section indicates "VxRail 8.x with ESXi 8.x supported firmware and drivers", the link between those two essentially says the server/nodes in that table are supported on ESXi 8. Guessing that it... Thanks so much for taking the time.

Hello lfod77,

You are correct.

Hello @DELL-Sam L,

I have the same question as Ifod77. I have four E560 nodes currently running ESXi 7.0.3 (build 22348816).

Could you please confirm if these nodes will be fully compatible with vSphere 8 after upgrading from my current version?

Thanks in advance.

Hello earuelaso,

As I stated to Ifod77 when looking at the support matrix for vxrail 8.x the E560 nodes are supported for version 8.x. So as long as your E560 nodes met the specs that are in the support matrix then you should not have any issues.

@DELL-Sam L​ is there any timeline for version 9.x ? 

Hi, we do not have any information.
